I take this opportunity of describing two new species of Blattidae 

 in the collection of the Zoological Museum of Berlin, 



Periplaneta vosseleri, sp. n. 



cf Castaneous. Head piceous, labrum testaceous; antennae longer 

 than the body, castaneous, Pronotum castaneous ; with a sparse erect 

 pubescence, no impressions, greatest width behind the middle, posterior 

 margin obtusely angled. Angles of meso- and metanotum without 

 membranous processes. Tegmina barely exceeding apex of abdomen. 

 Supra-anal lamina quadrate, angles rounded ; sub-genital lamina produced, 

 posterior margin very convex, styles slender, long. Cerci long, lanceolate. 

 Femora strongly armed; tarsi of usual type. 



Total length 18mm; length of tegmina 14mm; pronotum 5 mm 

 X 6 mm. 



Type in the Zoological Museum, Berlin. 



Amani, German E Africa (Yosseler). 



Panchlora vosseleri, sp. n. 



9 Closely allied to P. camerunensis, Borg but differing in the 

 following details. — Eyes touching. A very narrow submarginal black 

 line on either side of the pronotum, a pair of black points in the 

 anterior part of the pronotum. Tegmina with the following black points, 

 one at the base of the anal vein, one at the point of divergence of 

 radial from mediastinal vein, one in tlie discoidal field below the 2"*^ 

 branch of the posterior ulnar vein, one between 5*'^ and 6*^ costal veins, 

 one at apex of tegmen below the anterior ulnar vein; a short black 

 line below the radial vein, close to its base. Supra-anal lamina bilobate, 

 exceeding the sub-genital lamina. Abdomen and legs pale testaceous. 



Total length 25 mm; length of body 22 mm; length of tegmina 

 24 mm; pronotum 6.2 mm X 8.6 mm. 



Amani, German E. Africa (Yosseler).
