NEW COCKROACHES—ALBUQUERQUE 425 
with prouts brown, apices of all but last segment of tarsi tipped with 
a suffusion of this same color. 
The type is unique. 
Macrophyllodromia ecuadorana, new species 
Fiaures 10-14 
This new species is particularly distinguished by its male genitalic 
characters. It is closely related to splendida Hebard and to panamae, 
new species, but may be readily separated by its male subgenital plate. 
Holotype, male, Guayaquil, Ecuador, intercepted at San Diego, 
Calif., in bananas, Apr. 14, 1953, R. Wilkey (USNM 65779). 
Size large for the group.- Interocular space narrow, divergent 
toward vertex, width slightly more than one-third that between anten- 
nal sockets. Maxillary palpi elongate; antepenultimate and penulti- 
mate segments subequal in length, ultimate with strongly convex 
lateral margins; greatest width slightly caudad of median line. Teg- 
mina and wings well developed, extending beyond the cercal apices. 
Veins of tegmina numerous; radius vein with 8 rami (7 anterior and 
1 apical), some of them ramified; rami of media and cubitus oblique, 
about 14 of former at margin. The posterior branch of cubitus with 
2 or 3 apical rami, anterior branch forked. Six anal veins. Wings 
with 7 radial rami, the apical ones ramified, media simple. Cubitus 
with 5 branches that go to the margin. Intercalated triangle small. 
Supra-anal plate triangularly produced between cerci, apex bilobate. 
Subgenital plate asymmetrical as shown in figure 13. Cephalic 
femora with ventrocephalic margin armed with a series of spines which 
decrease in size mesodistad and terminated by three progressively 
longer distal spines. Pulvilli and arolia well developed. Tarsal 
claws unspecialized. 
Allotype, female, Ecuador, intercepted in California, Apr. 16, 1953, 
in bananas, R. Wilkey. 
Agrees closely with male except as follows: 
Size larger and form broader. Interocular space wider, slightly 
more than half width between antennal sockets. Tegmina and wings 
somewhat reduced, not exceeding cercal apices. Supra-anal plate 
moderately produced between cerci, lateral margins converging to 
the bilobate apex. Subgenital plate large, free margin broadly 
convex with a brief carina at apex. 
Head ochraceous buff with dark brown band from vertex to clypeus, 
where it suddenly expands laterad. Maxillary palpi and antennae 
ochraceous buff, suffused with brown. Pronotum with two broad 
longitudinal bands of dark brown, which broaden slightly mesad 
and strongly caudad but remain separate; area between bands and
