reflexis ; lamina supra-analis (c?) trapezoïdea; stjli tenues, leviter 

 ciirvati, haud furcati. 



Difïers from S. anthracina Gerst. in the bright rufo-castaneous legs, in 

 the deflexed abdominal tergites 6 and 7, with reflexed margins (the structure 

 of thèse tergites resembling that in 99 oi Pseudoderopeltis), and in the fonn 

 of the supra-anal lamina of the cf. The posterior margin of the ith abdo- 

 minal tergite is produced and faintty emarginate. The female is very like 

 that of Pseudoderopeltis aethiopica Sauss. but the cosae are not blotched 

 with paler colour and the supra-anal lamina is triangular and deepl}' emar- 

 ginate at the apex. 



Total length (cf) 18 mm., (9) ^9 mm.; length of tegmina 3 mm.; prono- 

 tum 6.1 mm. X 9 mm.

Blatta barbara sp. n. 



Rufo-castanea, tegmina (cf) ovata, coriacea, segmenta 4" abdo- 

 ininis haud attingentia, alae coriaceae; tegmina (9) quadrata, 

 segmenta 2° abdaminis haud attingentia, alae absunt; lamina 

 supra-analis (cf) trapezoidea, styli graciles, haud curvati. 



cf Rufo-castaneous ; head piceous ; antennae piceous at base, remainder 

 rufescent. Pronotum posteriorly truncate. Tegmina semi-corneous, obscurety 

 reticulate-punctaté, veins obsolescent, anal vein sometimes absent. Wings 

 rather shorter than the tegmina. Cerci stout, acuminate. Sub-genital lamina 

 sub-quadrate, apex not emarginate. Legs rufous. 



9 Similar but head rufo-castaneous. Scutellum exposed. Tegmina faintlj- 

 punctate, veins entirel)^ absent,' outer margins faintty reflexed, inner margins 

 overlapping. /th abdominal tergite produced in the middle ; supra-anal 

 lamina triangular, apex faintl)^ emarginate. 



Total length (cf) 15 mm., (9) i9-5 mm. ; length of tegmina (cf) 7 mm., 

 (9) 5 mm. ; pronotum 5.5 mm. x 7 mm. 



Loc. : Kambove, Kaparowe, Madona-Bangweolo, Mpika-Fort 

 Jameson : 3 dd*, 3 99 and larvae. 



A maie example taken between Mpika and Fort Jameson differs 

 somewhat from the type, the tegmina approximating in shape and 

 size to those of the female, bitt the spécimen is in poor condition 

 and I am not certain if it is not a mère variety.
