240 Mr. R. Shelford’s Studies of the Blattide. 
Escala insignis, n. sp. (Plate XV, fig. 6.) 
¢. Rufo-testaceous ; head castaneous, anterior and lateral mar- 
gins of pronotum hyaline ; wings clear hyaline with rufous shading 
on either side of the apical triangle ; abdomen and legs testaceous. 
Tegmina with thirteen costal veins, anterior ulnar vein bifurcate, 
posterior ulnar vein ramose. Wings with eleven costal veins, first 
axillary vein bifureate, apical triangle larger than in the two preced- 
ing species. Supra-anal lamina not much produced, trigonal ; sub- 
genital lamina ample with two acuminate styles and an asymmetrical 
lobe, covered with short setee but not armed with hooks. 
Total length 11:5 mm.; length of tegmina 9°5 mm. 
AUSTRALIA. ‘Two examples (Oxford Museum). 
This species is structurally very close to Theganopteryx 
and may be regarded as the least highly modified species 
of the genus scala. In general facies the species resemble 
each other closely, but the nature of the sub-genital 
lamina affords admirable specific characteristics, and if this 
is examined there can be no possible difficulty in distin- 
guishing the species. I have seen no female examples of 
the genus. 
Genus ANAPLECTA, Burm. 
Anaplecta maculata, n. sp. (Plate XV, fig. 7.) 
Q. Castaneous; head rufous, antennze fuscous; lateral margins 
of the pronotum and tegmina pellucid ; a testaceous macula in the 
centre of the pronotum but nearer the posterior than the anterior 
margin ; wings infuscated ; the ventral surface of the abdomen, the 
legs and cerci testaceous. Tegmina with seven parallel costal veins, 
the discoidal field traversed by four longitudinal veins, the anal vein 
impressed, Wings with five costal veins joined by oblique venule, 
the marginal field not dilated, the medio-discal field crossed by six 
transverse venule, the first of which is oblique, no longitudinal vein 
dividing the apical part of the medio-discal field, two transverse 
venule anteriorly connecting the median with the ulnar vein, the 
first axillary vein tri-ramose, apical area two-fifths of total wing- 
length. 
Total length 6°5 mm.; length of tegmina 5 mm. 
PUNDALOYA, CEYLON (Z. E. Green coll., Feb. 1897). 
Two examples (Oxford Museum). 
This and at least two other species are in the British 
Museum under the label Phyllodromia (?) gyrinoides, 
Wik. I have compared A, maculata, mibi, and the two
