M. Nicolas Ikonnikov some time ago entrusted to me for iden- 
tification a small but well preserved collection of Blattidae from Cen- 
tral Peru. None of the specimens bear labels giving the names of the 
places in which they were taken, but instead the longitude and latitude; 
this is 75° 17’ W. of Greenwich, 11° 37 S. lat.

gularly ignorant we still are of the Blattidae of Peru and the large pro- 
portion of new species in this small collection need therefore cause no 
surprise; | am certain thad numbers of undiscovered species still await 
the collector in this interesting part of the South American continent.
