R. Shelford, New Blattidae. \\^ 



apical triangle. Abdomen testaceous , tergites and stemites 

 laterally marked with castaneous, 7 th and 8 th tergites carinate, 

 no opening of scent-glands visible ; supra-anal lamina transverse, 

 sub-genital lamina cucullate, apex cleft, margins slightly inflected, 

 styles stout, asymmetrical, sub-triangular, terminating in acute points 

 and overlapping. Cerci elongate, acuminate, hirsute, slender, of 19 

 joints. Legs testaceous ; front femora with a complete row of 

 spines on anterior margin beneath, the spines approximately equal 

 in length ; formula of apical spines f-, \, \. 



§ Differs from $ in its much smaller size, in the shorter 

 tegmina which do not exceed the apex of tbe abdomen by much ; 

 the testaceous spot on the pronotum does not fuse with the lateral 

 margins ; tegmina castaneous to apex, a testaceous macula on the 

 margin towards apex ; supra-anal lamina cucullate. triangulär, 

 sub-genital lamina ample, semi-orbicular ; cerci less elongate. 



S Total length 19 mm; length of body 13,5 mm; length of 

 tegmina 15,8 mm; pronotum 4,1 mmX5,l mm. 



$ Total length 14 mm; length of body 10,9 mm ; length of 

 tegmina 10,7 mm ; pronotum 3,9 mmX4,5 mm.

The species is closely allied to P. supellectilium Serv. by the 

 coloration of the tegmina, by the flattened frons, venation, form 

 of supra-anal lamina and by the pronounced sexual dimorphism ; 

 it can readily be distinguished by the colouration of the pronotum, 

 the larger size, by the absence of scent-gland openings in the 

 male and by the form of the sub-genital lamina and remarkable 

 styles of the male. 



Phyllo dr omia hemerobina, Gerst. (1. c. p. 57. 1883). 



The following may be added to Gerstaecker's des- 

 cription of the species : Tegmina with 13 costals, discoidal fiele! 

 reticulated, anterior ulnar multiramose, posterior ulnar simple. 

 Wings with 10 — 11 costals, the first 6 incrassated, ulnar vein 

 5-ramose. S with supra-anal lamina trigonal, sub-genital lamina 

 rather large with two symmetrically-placed slender styles. $ with 

 supra-anal lamina transverse, sub-genital lamina with the apex 

 cleft. P. centralis Gerst. is very similar but the supra-anal 

 lamina of the male is transverse, the species moreover is larger 

 and with the pronotum less heavily marked.
