species within the Malayan sub-region — Malay Peninsula, 

 Sumatra, Java and Borneo. The present collection brings 

 the number of Bornean species to 146. that of the sub-region 

 to 258. 



The Blattidae are generally classified into 11 sub-families, 

 two of which, the Nyctiborinae and Blaberinae, are restricted 

 to the New World. Of the nine remaining sub-families all 

 are represented in the present collection, with the exception 

 of the Panchlorinae, the Malayan members of which are 

 mainly the above-mentioned cosmopolitan species of Leuco- 

 phaea and Naiiphoeta. 



Figs. 6, 7, 15 and 17 were drawn for me by Mr. Y. Knight, 

 to whom I herewith offer my best thanks ; the others b}^ myself. 



The types here described are , with permission of the Sarawak 

 Museum, preserved in the Hope Department, University 

 Museum, Oxford, where I have worked out the collection, 

 and I take this opportunity of expressing my sincerest thanks 

 to Professor Poulton. F.E.S., for kindly allowing me to 

 continue my study of this group in his Department.
