cf. Vertex, face, and pronotum deeply punctate (Figs. 34-35). 
Entire ventro-anterior margin of fore femur armed with a row of 
small, bimarginally serrated, closely spaced spines, lacking a large 
distal spine (Fig. 36) ; ventro-anterior margin of mid femur similarly 
armed but the spines fewer and not uniformly spaced. Tarsi very 
short, fimbriate, unarmed beneath. Supra-anal plate rounded, entire. 
Cerci long, extending well beyond hind margin of supra-anal plate 
(Fig. 38). Subgenital plate asymmetrical, with a broad shallow 
incision on right side (Fig. 39). Styles equal, not extending beyond 
hind margin of subgenital plate (Fig. 39). Genital phallomeres; 
L2d absent, prepuce spiculate, otherwise unmodified (Fig. 40). R2 
with a deep subapical incision which extends to about the middle of 
the hook (Fig. 41); Li with the upper lobe (above the cleft) 
elongate and more narrow than the lower (Fig. 42). 
In obliqua, the absence of an L2d and shape of the spicular sur- 
face of the prepuce (though lacking some long “silky” hairs on one 
side) resembles the same structure in Alphelixia (see Figs. 21 and 
23, in Roth, 1973a). The hooked phallomere (R2) resembles this 
structure in certain genera of Epilamprinae (e.g. Litopeltis, see 
Fig. 37 , in Roth, 1971) and Blaberinae (e.g. Blaptica, see Fig. 57 > 
in Roth, 1970a). The shape and sclerotization of the Li differs 
from that found in the other genera with similar appearing R2’s. 
Gurneya obliqua (Walker), n. comb. 
(Figs. 33 - 42 ) 
Ischnoptera (?) obliqua Walker (1869, 148, $). 
Pinaconota obliqua (Walker) (Shelford, 1907, p. 496, $ ). 
cf . (Fig. 33). Vertex and face (Fig. 34) deeply punctate, clypeus 
nearly smooth. Eyes large, bulging, their upper margins raised above 
the margin of the vertex, wide apart, the distance between them only 
slightly less than the distance between the antennal sockets (Fig. 34). 
Pronotum with scattered deep punctures, transversely elliptical, an- 
terior margin almost straight, not covering vertex of head, posterior 
margin nearly straight, sides deflexed (Fig. 35). Tegmina with basal 
fourth punctate, covering the abdomen. Scutellum exposed, punctate. 
Supra-anal plate entire, rounded, its surface and hind margin covered 
with small fine setae; cerci more than twice the length of supra-anal 
plate (Fig. 38). Subgenital plate slightly asymmetrical, the right 
side weakly indented; styli about equal, short, not extending beyond 
hind margin of subgenital plate (Fig. 39). Legs short, front and 
mid tibiae shorter than their corresponding femora. Front femur: 
entire ventro-anterior margin armed with about 30 small, bimargin-
