Mr. R. Shelford's Studies of the Blattidm. 507 



69. Blejjharodera pilipes, Wlk. 



Panchlora pilipes, Walker, 1. c. p. 184 (1868). 



^. Cape of Good Hope. 



According to Kirby, who has compared the types, this 

 is the equivalent of B. contnsa, Wlk. (1. c. p. 30, 1868), and 

 it is probable that it is synonymous with B. pilifera, StS.1, 

 the description of which is rather brief. 



70. Hormetica suhcincta, Wlk. (Plate XXX, fig. 8.) 

 Brachycola suhcincta, Walker, 1. c. p. 188 (1868). 



^. Colombia. 



Allied to H. verrucosa, Br. Head testaceous with a large black 

 marking on the front, extending to base of clypeus ; labrum, palpi 

 and antennae fusco-castaneous. Proiaotum as in H. verrucosa but 

 not bordered with black. Tegmina short, transversely truncate, 

 not extending beyond the second abdominal segment, colour and 

 markings as in H. verrucosa. Abdomen black, bordered above with 

 testaceous, supra-anal lamina testaceous, sub-genital lamina rufo- 

 castaneous, cerci black tipped with testaceous. 



Total length 31 mm. ; length of tegmina 9 mm. ; pronotum 12 

 mm. X 18 mm. 



The female has the abdomen above coloured as in the male, where- 

 as in H. verrucosa, Br. ^ , the abdomen has transverse testaceous 

 bands above and marginal testaceous spots below. The species 

 varies considerably in size. 



71. Hormetica interna, WJk. 



Brachycola interna, Walker, 1. c. p. 188 (1868). 

 $. Nauta (Bartlett). 



Allied to the preceding species but the head not so heavily marked 

 with black, the pronotum more punctate, the tegmina with a large 

 semicircular band castaneous in colour, abdomen beneath margined 

 with testaceous. 



Total length 27 mm. ; length of tegmina 11 mm. ; pronotum 

 10 mm. X 15 mm. 



Of the seventy-seven species in Mr. Saunders collection
