THE BLATTARIZ OF AUSTRALIA AND POLYNESIA. 
SUPPLEMENTARY AND ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 
AND NOTES. 
By J. G. O. Tepper, F.L.S. 
[Read March 6, 1894.] 
In the treatise with the above title, published in Vol. XVII. 
of the Transactions of the Royal Society of S.A., some 30 
species were only inserted by name, owing to the descriptions 
being inaccessible for me at the time. Since then I have been 
fortunate enough to procure Saussure’s great work, entitled 
““Melanges Orthopterologiques ” (2 vuls., 1863, 1878), and am 
now enabled to make up the deficiency almost completely, and to 
correct the nomenclature. 
Of those 30 species only three remain unsettled, viz., Apolyta 
gracile, Butler, Polyzosteria Sedilloti, Burm., and P. variolosa, 
Burm. ; one name—LZpilampra mediventris, Sauss.—disappears, 
as being evidently a misprint for &. nudiventris, Sauss., a 
synonym of £. inguinata, Stal., and another—LZctatoderws —has 
to be removed, owing to the genus belonging to the Gryllide and 
not the Blattariz, while five proved to be synonymous of described 
species. This leaves 20, of which more or less complete descrip- 
tions are supplied as extracts and translations from the above 
work. 
The later parts of Saussure’s work also supplied five additional 
species, whose habitat is recorded as in the Australian regions, 
enriching the record by three genera, of which the descriptions 
are given. 
In the meantime some more specimens have come to hand, of 
which the major part was contributed by my valued friend, C. 
French, Esq., F.L.8., and hailing from Victoria, N.S. Wales, and 
Queensland, among which were some new species (notably the 
most gigantic kind for Australia known tome). The descriptions 
of these and also Saussure species are given in the order adopted 
in the first part, and denoted by the page numbers heading the 
paragraphs. 
Of the 193 species originally recorded, 7 are removed, and 14 
new species added, which brings up the total to 200 for Australia 
and Polynesia, of which only those described by Walker require 
special verification.
