More or less dark brown, slightly hairy ; labrum dark brown ; eyes 

 black, prominent ; . rudiments of wings hairy, scabrous, of the same 

 colour as the body. 



Long. 1| mill. 



Habitat : Europe, in boxes of insects. It is Lepinotus inquilinus 

 of Heyden, according to the types, from Vienna, Hungary, and the 

 Tyrol, but M . von Heyden's description is incorrect. 



It is also Paradoxides (or since Paradoxenus) psocoides of Mots- 

 chulsky from Saxony and St. Petersburg ; the latter P. tuberculatus 

 Motsch. in litt. Motschulsky mistook it for a Coleopterous insect allied 

 to Drilus.

Head shining brown, cordate ; eyes black, large and prominent ; 

 palpi grey, the terminal joint greatly swollen at the apex ; thread of 

 the antemise fine, mvdtiarticulate (broken) ; superior wings slender, 

 slightly shorter than the abdomen, black, with white points on the

 with a branch on the anterior margin and a long fork near the 

 elliptical apex of the wing, also with a superior and inferior branch, 

 the post-costal vein curved and simple ; the. margins and the veins are

 without ticket ; perhaps from Hamburgh. The flattened form of the 

 insect is perhaps not natural.
