DEROCALYMMA CONTIGUA, Sauss. (Mel. Orth., II., 140, fig. 51). 
“Chestnut. Eyes contiguous, antenne reddish. Pronotum

Dasyposoma, runner (Syst. Blatt., 387, fig. 59. 
“ Pronotum semiorbicular, rather shining. Apterous. Legs 
very stout. Supra-anal lamina rotundate, subgenital lamina of 
the male and last ventral segment of female almost alike. 
Cryptocercus, Scudder. 
The genus as established by Brunner only embraced three 
American species, to which Saussure subsequently added the 
following, which may probably be referable to some other genus. 
DasyposoMa CASTANEA, Sauss. (Mel. Orth., I., 105).

Dasyposoma nigra, Br. (Syst. Blatt., 388, fig. 57. Brazil). 
Brunner’s figure resembles in outline, aspect of thoracic seg- 
ments, and lamina my Anamesia fulvornata ; but the angles of 
the abdominal segments are neither produced, nor angular, being 
rounded, while the surface sculpture differs widely. It may be, 
however, that the latter and Saussure’s species form an allied 
genus or subgenus.
