Elytra coriaceous, nervose, decussating each other ; wings mem- branaceous, with a few longitudinal folds ; max- illary palpi elongate ; body depressed, oval, or somewhat orbicular ; tarsi with five joints. [PL II, fig. 6. ] The insects of this order are the too well- known Cock-roaches, or the Black Beetles of cooks and housemaids : the species generally found in the kitchens of the houses in this me- tropolis is not, strictly, a native of this country, but was introduced originally from Ameri...ca. In a state of nature, cock-roaches inhabit trees, secreting themselves during the day in crevices and beneath the detached bark of trees ; in tropical countries they are large and nume- rous. The females are generally apterous, or have their wings abbreviated. The different species are, as yet, but little known. A genus 35 ofHymenopterous insects (Evania ofFabricius) are so far parasitical as to breed in the eggs of cock-roaches: this fly is small but singular in its formation, and where the cock-roaches are numerous, the former are no doubt plentiful ; for we lately observed a number of specimens in the collection of insects formed in Sumatra, by the late SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES ; it contained also many species of the insects of this order.
