Bombobrachycoma, new genus. 



Genotype, Brachycoma davidsoni Coquillett, 1894, Ent. 

 News, V, 173. Reared by Davidson from Bomhus larvse in 

 California. 



Differs from Brachicoma by having preacrostichals devel- 

 oped, clypeus short and extra-deeply sunken, third antennal 

 joint short; epistoma heavily warped forward and produced, 

 almost in horizontal plane, nearly as long as clypeus; female 

 palpi much swollen apically. 



Euparaphyto auromaculata, new species. 



Length, 9 to 10 mm. One male and one female, Oroya, 

 Peru, March 7, 1913 ; and one female, same locality. May 7, 

 1914 (C. H. T. Townsend). 



Close to the species described in the male by Josef Bischof 

 as Microcerella rufouwcuJata (Z. B. Gesellsch., LIV, 97-101). 

 Differs from Bischof's description as follows : Sternopleurals 

 1.1.1; notopleurals 1.1.1.1; three supraalars ; a discal pair of 

 scutellars. Cheeks with a large deep golden spot. Outer edge 

 of scutellum light golden, the apex faintly silvery. A small 

 golden spot below humeri on propleura. Venter with corre- 

 sponding deep golden spots on sides of first three segments, 

 the anal segment with a silvery spot instead ; ventral plates two 

 to four largely golden ; a small light golden spot on side of first
