366 Ilandlirseh — New Paleozoic Insects from the 



at a quarter of the length, each of the main branches again cleft 

 into 2 branches. The anterior main branch gives off before 

 its division 2 short branchlets, swinging forward and outward, 

 the first of which unites with the base of the radial sector. 

 The cubitus runs nearly straight toward the end of the apical 

 margin, sending forth backward 3 branches, the first of which 

 splits into 5, the second into 2 twigs. All these veins hold 

 the same direction as the branches of sector and media and are 

 bridged over by numerous cross veins. Anal area very short, 

 but not so broad as in Melinophlebia, and limited by a less 

 strongly curved vein ; it is filled by about 4 simple veins and 

 reaches not quite a fifth of the length of the wing. 



I have no doubt of the close relation of this species with 

 Melinoph lebia.

The Tale collection possesses the types of two larval forms, 

 described by Sellards as belonging to the true Blattoidea but 

 supposed by me (Fossil Insects, p. 152) to be members of the 

 Protoblattoidea. Having now examined the types, I can ver- 

 ify my opinion.
