TWO NEW TEXAN PARAJULI. 



By Ralph V. Chamberlin, 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



The type specimens of the new species of Parajulus here de- 

 scribed were collected by J. D. Mitchell at Victoria, Tex., from 

 where they were taken to the field laboratory of the United States 

 Bureau of Entomology at West Lafayette, Ind., and there kept 

 alive for some time. They were sent to me for determination by 

 Mr. W. R. Walton of the bureau mentioned. Isolated descrip- 

 tions of these two forms are here published in order that the names 

 may be available for early use. 



Parajulus texanus sp, nov. 



General color light yellowish brown. A dark median dorsal 

 longitudinal Fme which is dark brown anteriorly and becomes black 

 posteriorly. The usual series of black dots along each side over 

 the repugnatorial glands on all excepting the first few segments; 

 the dots small, angulate. About each segment a narrow dark an- 

 nulus or line which fades out on the lower part of each side. A 

 series of light brown spots much lighter and less conspicuous than 

 those of the repugnatorial series occur along each side above the 

 legs excepting on the most anterior and most posterior segments. 

 Vertex of head and the antennae dusky or blackish; the head below 

 level of eyes pale. 



Sulcus across vertex of head coarse; extending forwards to a 

 deep transverse sulcus between inner angles of eyes; the trans- 

 verse sulcus bent back angularly at middle. 



Eye patch black; of moderate size; triangular, but with sides 

 convex and the anterior angle truncate. Ocelli on each side in 

 seven subvertical series in the most caudal of which there are ten
