158 MEMOISS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



lamina of ^ (Text-fig. 9) triangular, apex truncate, widely and angularly emarginate, 

 lateral margins entire, a little everted, exceeding the subgenital lamina in length. 

 Basal portion nigro-castaneous, apical portion flavo-testaceous. Cerci much exceeding 

 the lamina in length, blackish, tipped pale. Supra-anal lamina of $ similar to that 

 of (J, but the emargination is concave rather than angular. Subgenital lamina of <^ 

 (Text-fig. 10) quadrate, angles obtu.se, ca.staneous, no spines. Styles inserted 

 externally to the angles, acuminate, slightl}' incurved, reddish-brown. Abdominal 

 stemites fusco-castaneous ; lateral and posterior margins paler in $. Legs testaceous, 

 spines reddish brown, a castaneous maciila at the base of the coxae. Posterior 

 metatarsus long, biseriately spined beneath, its pul villus apical ; remaining joints 

 xmspined beneath, their pulvilli occupying their whole length. Arolia present. 



Length.— 3 12-13 mm. ; $ 13-15 mm. 



Cotypes.—2 ^ and 2 ?, Coll, Auct. (Spms. Nos. 18 and 19 3, Nos. 20 and 21 $.) 



Habitat.— \ictorm : Wimmera district, 1911 (L. Kelly), Dookie, 1913 (L. Kelly). 



Notes. — My friend Jlr. Leslie Kelly first sent me this species from the Wimmera 

 district of Mctt)ria, and later in abundance from Dookie ; and it appeared to be 

 identical with sj)ecimens in the Nat. Mus. Melb., labelled ""Drymaplancta circumcincta 

 Tepper." Two of these specimens were amongst the Victorian Blattida? sent to Mr. 

 Tepper for determination in 1895, and were returned by him named '' DrymapJaneta 

 (Periplaneta) circumrincta n. sp." No mention, however, is made of the species in 

 his paper dealing with this collection (Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Austr. 1895, pp. 146-166), 

 nor could any published name or description be found. Mr. Tepper, writing to 

 me in May. 1916, in reply to inquiries, says he cannot find any published record of 

 the species, and that he "' mu.st have entirely missed it" ; adding, " It is therefore 

 quite at your disposition tjoth as to genus and species name." 



As Shelford points out (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1909, j). 265 et seq.), Tepper 

 founded his genus Drymaplancia on an immature condition of the subgenital lamina 

 of $. The genus cannot stand, and the species placed therein bj- Tepper will probably 

 go into Platyzoateria or Cut ilia. The posterior metatarsus of the present species being 

 typically that of Culilia 1 have placed it in that genus, and have added as specific name 

 that of Mr. Tepjier, the disco\erer of the species, and one to whom we owe so much 

 for his work on Australian lilaltida*.
