APPENDIX IV

ORTHOPTERA, HYMENOPTERA, AND
HEMIPTERA.

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. Kirby, F.L.S., F.E.S., &c, Assistant in Zoological Department, British Museum (Natural History).

 

The collection formed by Miss Kingsley, though small,^[1] 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 Panchiorinæ.

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

1. This collection is entirely from Lembarene. (River Ogowé). I have no lists of collection of insects from Calabar.—M. H. K.
