Family Docophoridae. 

 Pakagoniocotes, gen. nov. 



This is a new parrot genus known to me by several species, 

 only one o£ which has hitherto been described, viz., the species 

 from Calopsiltacus novce-hullandice named in 1^80 by tlie 

 indefatigable Piaget Goniocotes fasciatus (* Les Pediculines,' 

 1880, p. 236, pi. xix. lig. 11). 6r. fasciatus is a simple 

 member of the genus in which the two large recurved frontal 

 processes one on each side of the liead, so characteristic a 

 feature of the new species about to be described, are absent. 



The genus may be shortly diagnosed as follows : — 



Head broader than long. Pront margin circular, temples 

 rounded, with an elongate bristle. Prothorax narrow, abdo- 

 men short and small. tSmall species infesting- parrots. 



Tiie mouth-parts and male copulatory apparatus may 

 also provide some generic characters. Although the general 

 facies recalls the Goniodidae, the genitalia in the male are 

 distinctly Nirmoid in character, so that in all probability it 

 is more correct to include this genus in the family Doco- 

 phoiidai, raised by Mjoberg in 1910 to include the genera 

 Uocoj^)liurus, Nirmus, and P seudonirrnus, 



Parayoniocotes gripocephalus, sp. n. 



This species is described from spirit-material, probably of 

 some considerable age, in the collection of tlje British 

 Museum, and taken, according to tlie label inside the tube^ 

 on Chrysotis auyusta [now known as Amazona augusta, 

 G. li. Giay], the only otlier information available concerning 

 them being the locality indicated in the two words "August 

 Amazon '"" {s(c).
