MORSE: ORTIIOPTERA OF NEW ENGLAND. 319 
Key to Species covers only a few of them. Among them are 
several very large, broad, and flat-bodied Roaches, either adults 
with abbreviated tegmina, or young without any, belonging to 
the genera Nyctibora (Fig. 42) and Eurijcotis. A few specimens 
have been already recorded but the identification was in some 
cases incorrect.

This is a medium-sized Roach about an inch and a quarter in 
length, pale buffy brown in color, thickly sprinkled with very fine 
dusky dots, with a few larger ones scattered over the tegmina and 
sometimes massed along the basal half of the radial vein to form an 
irregular dusky streak. The hind margin of the pronotum is 
strongly produced, with excavate sides and rounded apex. 
Green Roaches, about an inch long, are frequently seen and 
captured, under conditions indicating that they have been acci- 
dentally introduced. These are beautiful insects when living.
