ORTHOPTERA FROM RAMANAD. 

 I. Blatta supellectilium, Serv. 



B. cubensis, de Saussure, Mem. Mex., III., Orthopteres, p. 108, pi. I., fig. 15. 



B. (Phyllodromia) supellectilium, Bolivar in Ann. Soc. Ent. France, LXVI., 1897, 

 p. 289. 



Phyllodromia supellectillium, Kirby, Cat. Orthopt., I., 1904, p. 88. 



A single male from the town of Ramanad. On the whole it agrees with de Saus- 

 sure's figure of B. cubensis, but is distinctly smaller and less brilliantly coloured than the 

 individual depicted by him. It has indications of a pale triangle ' on the dark part of the 

 thorax, but not so distinctly as Kirby's H. delta (Distant, Ins. Tranvaat, I., pi. I., fig. 4). 



Bolivar has recorded the species from Southern India, and it is found throughout the 

 Peninsular region. It also occurs in Brazil, Cuba, the Antilles and Tropical Africa. It 

 was hitherto represented in the collection of the Indian Museum by a single specimen 

 only, but it is not uncommon in houses in Calcutta and at Chakardharpur in Chota 

 Nagpur. In Cuba it is said to be extremely common. 



II. Stylopyga ornata, Br. 



Dorylaea ornata, Kirby, Cat. Orthopt., I., 1904, p. 135. 



A large female, running on the sand a short distance above tide-mark at night 

 Kilakarai, Gulf of Manaar. 



We have an imperfect female (named by de Saussure) from Mysore. Kirby gives 

 the distribution, " India (?)." The species is evidently rare. 



I The absence or presence of this mark seems, judging from a large number of examples recently killed and preserved, to be 

 chiefly or entirely due to the method in which individual specimens are dried. (March 10th, I9°6. — N. A.)
