254 Mr. R Shelford's Studies of the Blattida;. 



fuscous broadly tipped with testaceous ; legs rufo-fuscous, coxse 

 tipped witli testaceous. Length of pronotum 2*8 mm. ; of tegmina 

 10'5 mm. $ . Vertex only of head red, antennae incrassated at base, 

 the testaceous annulus occupying fourteen joints ; pronotum rufous 

 with a fuscous curved line posteriorly ; tegmina fuscous with a broad 

 testaceous vitta extending from distal half of mediastinal field and 

 occupying the whole of the marginal field to near the apex of the 

 tegmina, posteriorly the tegmina are fusco-hyaline ; abdomen fuscous, 

 cerci and legs as in the male. Length of pronotum 3 mm, ; of 

 tegmina 10 mm. Perty describes the head of this species as black, 

 but his figure shows it to be red. 



5. P. cmnulicornis, Burm. (Brazil, Bahia.) 



Thyrsocera annulicornis, Burmeister, 1. c. p. 500, d. 9 



(1838) ; Brunner, 1. c. p. 125, n. 16 (1865). 

 Pseudomops deceptura, Walker, 1. c. p. 82, n. 21 (1868). 



The type is at Berlin, and from a sketch of it made for 

 me by Dr, Brauer I am of opinion that P. deceptura, Wlk., 

 is synonymous ; the insect is testacoous-rufous with an 

 infuscated patch on the posterior part of the pronotum, 

 the white band on the antennse occupies ten joints. The 

 species is undoubtedly very closely allied to P. latieornis, 

 Perty, but as Burmeister was acquainted with that species 

 and yet described annulicornis as new, it seems advisable 

 to keep them separate. Blatta annulicornis, Wlk., the 

 type of which is in the Oxford Museum, is a species of 

 Phyllodromia. 



6. P. aurantiaca, Sss. and Zhntn. (Panama.) 



Thyrsocera aurantiaca, de Saussure and Zehntner, 1. c. 

 p. 32, n. 6, pi. 3, % 6, 7 (1893). 



I have compared the type of this with the type of P. 

 deceptura, Wlk,, and find that the two are distinct. 



7. P. grata, Rehn, (Costa Eica.) 



Pseudomops grata, Rehn. Trans. Am. Ent, Soc. xxix, 

 p, 260 (1903). 



The species is unknown to me.
