Summary
A List of the Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, and Hemiptera collected by Miss Kingsley on the River Ogowé, with Descriptions of some new Genera and Species. By W. F. Klrby, F.L.S., F.E.S., &c, Assistant in Zoological Department, British Museum (Natural History).
The collection formed by Miss Kingsley, though small, contained several species of considerable interest, in addition to the novelties; and hence I have thought it worth while to prepare a complete list. Eight species in all are here described as new, for two of which it has been necessary to establish new genera. It is, however, to be regretted that in most cases only single specimens were received, and several of them were immature, or the number of new species might have been larger.
Order ORTHOPTERA
Family Blattidæ
Subfamily PANCHLORIÆ
Trichomera, gen. nov.
Female.—Apterous: front of head rounded, projecting beyond the prothorax; face hardly oblique; antennæ thickened at base and tapering to tips; prothorax moderately arched, the hinder angles rounded off, those of the meso- and metathorax less rounded and more produced backwards; tibiæ strongly spined above, but femora with no spines, but only clothed with fine hair; abdomen very broad, supra-anal plate triangularly emarginate at the extremity to nearly half its length; cerci very broad, pointed at the end, and a little shorter than the supra-anal lamina.
The unarmed femora place this genus in the Panchlorinæ, but in shape it resembles the females of some of the Blattinæ. The male is probably winged.
