new Species of Blattide. 48 
subfamily Oxyhaloine(=Plectopterine). Aphlebidea is un- 
doubtedly the same as Tepper’s genus Choristima, described 
twu years previously, and 4d. Brunneri, Brancs., if not 
identical with Choristima galerucoides, W\k., is most closely 
allied. Blatta apicifera, Wik. (Cat. Blatt. B. M. p. 110, 
1868), is the male of C. galerucoides, W1k.: the type, which 
is in the British Museum, is in extremely poor condition, the 
abdomen and antenne being missing; it is smaller than 
the female, the tegmina and wings are relatively longer and 
would, I imagine, extend beyond the tip of the abdomen. 
Tepper’s diagnosis of the genus is extremely brief, but 
Brancsik’s description of Aphlebidea is detailed enough to 
render it readily recognizable. The species included in the 
genus may be distinguished as follows :—

cucullate.

Chorisoneura pectinata, Sauss. (Mél. Orthoptér. iv. p. 131, 
1872), may be referred to a new genus, on account of the 
fusion of the radial and ulnar veins of the tegmina—a con- 
dition which obtains also in Hetobia, Westw., but not in the 
genera Chorisoneura, Br., or Choristima, Tepp., to which it is 
most nearly allied. 
Genus Ectoneura, noy. 
Allied to Choristima, Tepper, but the radial and ulnar 
veins of tegmina fused and emitting oblique veins to both 
margins. ‘Tegmina and wings somewhat reduced in the 
female, but not to so great an extent as in Choristima; 
triangular apical area large and conspicuous. Supra-anal 
lamina transverse or slightly produced; subgenital lamina 
of the male narrow, triangular, of the female large and 
subquadrate. Femora spineless beneath, except for apical 
spines, the formula of which is }, 4, 4.
