468 Mr. R. Shelford’s Studies of the Blattide. 
I append a description of Parahormetica bipustulata, as 
it is the only Thunbergian species which has not been re- 
described by subsequent authors, and which in consequence 
cannot be recognised without a more detailed description 
than the original one. 
@ Dark castaneous. Pronotum almost smooth, no impressions, 
only a very few punctuations, a pair of small orange spots in the 
posterior half of the disc, widely separated. Tegmina lobiform, of 
the same shape as in P. bilobata, Sauss., extending to apex of second 
abdominal tergite. Supra-anal lamina rounded, surpassed by sub- 
genital lamina into which it fits. Cerci blunt, short. Abdomen 
below with disc rufous. Legs rufous. Total length 29 mm.; length 
of tegmina 9 mm.; pronotum 9°5 mm. x 13 mm. 
IX. SYNONYMICAL NOTES. 
The following Fabrician species have been omitted by 
Kirby from his Syn. Cat. Orthopt. vol. 1 :— 
Blatta occidentalis, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. ui, p. 7 (1793) to 
genus Naupheta. Rhyparobia rasfipes, Kirby is sy- 
nonymous. ‘Type in Copenhagen Museum. Fabricius 
gives the locality as “in Americz insulis,” and on the 
label borne by the type is written “St. Thomas Is.” 
The species is characteristic of W. Africa, and it is 
possible that Fabricius confused the Island of San 
Thomé with the West Indian island. 
Blatta palliata, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 186 (1798) 
to genus Hemithyrsocera. H. mgra, Brunner is 
synonymous. Type in Copenhagen Museum. 
Blatta reticulata, Fabricius, op. cit. p. 186 to genus 
Phyllodromia. Type in Copenhagen Museum. 
Blatta ruficollis, Fabricius, Mant. Ins. 1, p. 226 (1787) to 
genus IJschnoptera. Type in Copenhagen Museum. 
I was unable to find the type of Blatia longipalpa, Fab. 
The following notes result from an examination of 
Stal’s types :— 
Blatia pumila, Stal, is a species of Anaplecta probably 
conspecific with A. Jateralis, Burm. 
Liatta misella to genus Hololampra.
