624 Shelf ord, Descriptions of some new genera and species of Blattidae. 



Type of the genus Hijposphaeria hurri Karny. (Denkschr. 

 med.-nat. Ges. Jena XIII p. 389, pi. 22 f. 40 1908.) 



Dr. Karny has kindly lent me the type of this species 

 and I find that it is not a $ as stated by him but a cf. A $ 

 is in the collection of the South African Museum , labelled Ble- 

 pharodera discoklalis Burm. , an identification that is palpably in- 

 correct. This new genus can be distinguished from all others 

 in the subfamily Peris phaeriwae by the fimbriate thorax and ab- 

 sence of tegmina and wings in both sexes.
