On a Collection of Blattids, 

 chiefly from Java and Northern Australia, 

 made by Professor Ed. Handschin

 With 8 Text-Figures. 



The greater part of the Blattids described below was taken by 

 Professor Ed. Handschin in the years 1930 to 1932 in Java and 

 the Northern Territory, Australia, whilst on a tour of scientific and 

 industrial research. Only a few spécimens represent material 

 which had been accumulating in the Basel Muséum, brought from 

 Sumatra, Penang, Timor, the Solomon Is., Bougainville, New 

 Britain and Japan. It was hardly to be expected that a collection 

 made in Java, especially in the vicinity of Buitenzorg and Tjibodas, 

 would produce many novelties. But it is différent with the 

 Northern Territory, Australia, and of the 16 species taken there, 

 not less than 10 species are here described as new. The collection 

 also cootains one new species each from the Solomon Is. and from 

 Bougainville.
