Description

Interest in Asiatic Blattidae coupled with gradual acquisition of considerable Malayan material led to author Hebard’s first large contribution toward a better knowledge of the subfamilies, genera, & species to be found there. Early in his Malayan studies (in the 1920s) he found it advisable to make comparisons, particularly with possibly closely related Australian species of the Blattidae. Having a very small representation of Australian Blattidae in the Phila. collections, Hebard undertook considerable exchanges with Australian Museums. Therefore, the present study was almost completed by 1929. It covers only the first two, but much the least well understood, subfamilies & is based on 551 specimens from the collections listed in the study. 14 plates.
