groups represent distinct genera, or are simply striking divisions in 
the genus Audreia , comparable to the many striking divisions in the 
genus Epilampra as at present defined. . . . Whether the tegmina and 
wings are reduced, truncate, lateral and lobiform, or absent, are 
features which in the Blattidae are known to be often utterly worth- 
less from a generic standpoint. . . . Without the sexes of each species, 
we do not feel in a position to characterize Audreia more definitely 
than has been done in the meager description given by Shelford.” 
A few years later Rehn and Hebard (1927, p. 204) commented 
further on the genus Audreia stating that it . . is composed of a 
small number of species described from the tropics and subtropics 
of both hemispheres, the majority, however, tropical American. The 
species much resemble certain forms referred to the genus Epilampra, 
but all possess reduced or subquadrate tegmina in both sexes, these 
subquadrate or distally emarginate in most of the forms . . . Until 
the genus Epilampra as a whole is critically studied, and our knowl- 
edge of the extent to which brachypterism occurs in that assemblage 
is more complete, it is unwise to do other than follow Shelford’s use 
of the generic name Audreia. We can say, however, that the genus 
Calolampra , to which a number of the species now placed in the 
more recently described Audreia were originally referred, is well 
distinct from Audreia of Shelford. The West Indies possess two 
species which can logically be assigned to Audreia, one from higher 
mountains of eastern 'Cuba., the other from Blue Mountains of 
Jamaica. The possibility that these may be members of an ancient 
relic fauna forces itself upon one, although the converse argument 
that tegminal reduction has been brought about by adjustment to a 
peculiar and restricted montane environment cannot be ignored.” 
The male genitalia of Calolampra carinulata Saussure, the species 
which Hebard (1920, p. 92) selected as the type for the genus 
Audreia Shelford show 2 distinct differences from the genitalia of 
most species of Epilampra. The hooked right phallomere (Figs. 348, 
35 1 ) lacks a subapical incision and is relatively stout. The hook from 
the specimen shown in Fig. 348 tends to resemble the hook of E. 
sodalis (Fig. 309) but is shorter. The L2d of A. carinulata (Figs. 
347> 350) is a flattened sclerotization of the preputial membrane; 
the remainder of the prepuce is shapeless. In most Epilampra, the 
prepuce has a well defined shape and is densely covered by micro- 
trichia,. The Li of A. carinulata lacks a setal brush (Figs. 349, 352). 
The genitalia of 5 other species of Audreia (Figs. 166-177) differ 
from those of A . carinulata, and are similar to the genitalia of certain 
other species of Epilampra. Rehn and Hebard (1927, p. 205) stated
