94 BLATTiDAE FROM NORTHERN SARAWAK, 



Wings amber-coloured. Abdomen below castaneous, legs 

 castaneous (right hind leg entk-ely missing, the left mutilated). 

 Metatarsus of the middle leg longer than the remaining 

 joints, spined throughout the greater part of its length, pulvillus 

 apical, first tarsal joint with few spines, arolia present. 



9- Total length 25 mm.; body 24 mm.; pronotum 7x8 

 mm. ; tegmina 18 mm. 



Hah. 19 Mt. Dulit. 



The systematic position of this species is somewhat doubtful, 

 as the hind legs of the single specimen obtained are mutilated. 

 Its uniform colouring is quite unlike a typical Epilampra. At 

 the first glance it might be taken for a small species of 

 Morplina, yet the spined character of the metatarsus of its mid 

 legs show^s that it cannot belong to that genus.

SuBFAM. 5. BLATTINAE. 



Methana pallipalpis Serville. 



1 cf Mt. Dulit; 2 9 Mt. Murud, 6500 feet. 



One of the 9 specimens from Mt. Murud is very much 

 darker than the others. However, this would hardly justify 

 specific separation. 

 • As I have pointed out in a former paj^er (J., Malayan 

 Branch, E. As. Soc, Vol. I, p. 435 (1923)) the proper place 

 of this species should be under Dorylaea. 



DORYLAEA ATRO-CAPUT n. Sp.
