This form approaches E, indurata^ Walker, from Sarawak in size '), 

 it is, however, of a much narrower built. Resembling by its small pronotum 

 Rhabdoblatta parvlcollis Walker, from Sarawak, it differs from it by its 

 mottled tegmina, and still more, by the tegmina and wings being rounded, 

 not truncated. The tegmina of R. parvlcollis, the type of which is also in 

 the O. U. M., are light chestnut, with a few large pale blotches, A second 

 specimen in the O. U. M , also from Sarawak (Mount Matang, June 1907), 

 has the tegmina uniform light chestnut. 



Epilampra gjellerupi n. sp. 



1 ?, New Guinea (Gjellerup, 1911). 



Head free. Pronotum testaceous, with larger & smaller brown dots intermixed. 

 Tegmina pale testaceous, translucent, with (about) five large irregular dark-brown 

 spots arranged along the distal two-thirds of the radial vein. 



Total length 23 mm; body 18 mm; pronotum 5X6 mm; tegmina 20 mm. 



Only three species of Epilampra seem so far to 

 have been recorded from New Guinea, viz. E. kerau- 

 drenii, Le Guillou, E. fervida, Walker, & E. popua, 

 Saussure. Of these E. keraiidrenii is considerably 

 larger than the present species, viz. about 40 mm. 

 in total length, and resembles E. lurida^ Burmeister, 

 from the Malay region, in its colouring. E. fervida^ 

 Walker, is, according to Shelford, synonymous with 

 E. plana, Walker, the types of which are in O. U. M. 

 They are of about the same size as E. gjellerupi, but 

 the former is very pale testaceous and only slightly 

 mottled, whilst the latter is much darker and heavily 

 mottled with chestnut brown. Neither of them shows 

 the large spots so characteristic of E. gjellerupi. 

 Nearest to it is probably E. papua, Saussure ^), which is 

 only slightly larger and the tegmina of which the author describes as provided 

 with "punctis majoribus 4 — 6 in vena principali". However, the dimensions of 

 its pronotum (viz. 5.5X9 mm.) differ greatly from those of E, gjellerupi 

 (viz. 5X6 mm), and the illustration which, curiously enough, shows no 

 trace of the large spots described by Saussure, little resembles our species.
