Genus Paraceramius Saussure 



Figures 36, 102 



(^. Head quadrate, not as broad as in Ceramius; clypeus elongate, 

 not as squarely truncate as in Ceramius; the glossae retractile, elong- 

 ate, forming a tubular ligula, with a peculiar series of transverse erect 

 scales beneath, as in Ceramius; palpi as in Ceramius. 



Humeri entirely rounded ; parapsidal furrows wanting : tegula 

 small, scale-like, without coarse punctures, the outer margin rounded, 

 entire ; angles of propodeum entirely rounded. 



Venation as in Ceramius. Spur of anterior tibia as in Ceramius 

 except that it ends in a lobe and a spine instead of two nearly equal 

 spines; anterior trochanter simple, the femur with a sharp crest be- 

 neath ; all claws with a large basal tooth ; middle tibia with one apical 

 spur ; the larger spur of hind tibia with 3 short spines before its tip. 



Sixth and seventh sternites as in Ceramius. 



Genitalia as described in the table and illustrated in figure 8. 



The above characters apply to P. lusitanicus (Klug). I have not 

 seen a female. 



The single spur on the middle tarsus, the difference in the spurs 

 on the anterior and hind tarsi, the simple front trochanters, the great 

 genitalic and other differences make it impossible to include this group 

 any longer as a subgenus of Ceramius. 



Habitat. — Korea, Southern Europe, Africa.
