362 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



anterior gonopods, which are ectal in position, are deeply- 

 bifid; the anterior branch is of ordinary texture, clavate in 

 outline and pilose; the posterior branch is strongly chitinized 

 and smooth, rather slender and blade-like, curving first caudad 

 and then ventrad and mesad, each presenting an acute spur 

 from its mesal edge just distad of the middle of its length. 

 The posterior gonopods are long, slender, chitinous blades curv- 

 ing forward, downward, caudad and then again dorsad, thus 

 forming three-fourths of a circle, with the tip bent slightly to one 

 side; from near the base arises a shorter, distally acute, blade 

 which is weakly sigmoidally bent and which extends ventrad nearly 

 to the lower segment of the principal branch. 



Sides and venter light brown. Dorsum of pale ferruginous 

 cast, dusky; a longitudinal mid-dorsal black line; a row of large 

 black spots along each side over the pores; above each black spot 

 a fulvous spot and between this and the mid-dorsal line a narrow, 

 fulvous stripe and a stripe of similar colour also commonly showing 

 across the anterior border of the somite. The sides above, espe- 

 cially in anterior region of body, with a network of black lines 

 over the lighter background. The collum covered with a similar 

 network, a solid dark, transverse band just caudad of the anterior 

 border, this widening toward the middle; a similar but narrower 

 band across the caudal border, this connected with the anterior 

 one along the median line. Vertex of head also with a network of 

 dark lines; a solid black band between edges, this including the 

 usual light spots below. Antennae blackish. Legs fulvous. 



In the female the second tergite extends very much below^ the 

 level of the collum; angularly pointed below. The collum with 

 a longitudinal stria just above the margining sulcus on each side. 

 In the male the collum is more elongate, as usual in Parajulus, 

 with the lower margin long and straight. The second tergite does 

 not extend below the level of the collum and its lower edge is 

 straight. 



The cardo of the mandibles in the male is strongly produced 

 below; the process narrowed angularly ventrad, its apex narrowly 

 rounded and reaching to the level of the lower edge of the labrum.
