SELLARDS. | Cockroaches. SILL 
branch is more oblique and gives off three superior branches. 
Three other oblique, simple, or forked branches pass to the 
border. The media is much developed, its branches filling the 
apex of the wing. The first five cubital branches are parallel, 
simple, and nearly straight. The anal area is well marked, 
broad, but short, and has in the type seven simple veins. 
Length of tegmina, about 26 mm., width 11 mm. 
Formation and locality: Le Roy shales, Upper Coal Meas- 
ures, Lawrence, Kan. Type No. 57, University of Kansas col- 
lection. The species is named for Mr. Joseph Savage. 
Etoblattina brevi-cubitalis sp. nov. Pl. LXXX, fig. 2. 
Tegmina approximately two and one-half times as long as 
wide. Costal border arched, inner border nearly straight. 
Widest part about the end of the anal area, gradually reduced 
to an obtusely pointed apex. Subcostal area of slight extent, 
reaching hardly to the middle, giving off about six oblique, 
simple or forked branches. The radial area reaches nearly to 
the apex; its first branch is given off before the middle of the 
anal area. Four or five other simple or forked branches arise 
at equal distances from the main stem. The median branches 
fill the apex of the wing. The first branch arises opposite the 
end of the anal area. The cubitus beyond the basal curve runs 
in a nearly straight course, striking the border at the distal 
end of the middle third. It has crowded, mostly simple, very 
oblique, parallel branches. The anal area is likewise crowded 
with numerous, mostly simple, cross-veins. 
The thirteen individuals referred to this species agree closely 
in size, being from 22 to 25 mm. long, and from 9 to 11 mm. 
wide. The distinctive features of the species are the direct 
course of the comparatively short cubitus with its very oblique 
branches, and the numerous anal veins. The shape of the 
wing is quite constant, being always slightly arched. The 
subcostal area varies in extent from 9 to 14 mm. from the base. 
The radius uniformly reaches nearly to the apex. The anal 
veins are always numerous and close, twelve to fourteen in 
number. The species differs from H. occidentalis in the 
greater number of anal veins and the shorter cubitus with 
more oblique branches.
