Family Docophovidae. 

 Paragoniocotes, geu. iiov. 



This is a new panot genus known to me by several specie.", 

 only one t)£ wiiicli lias iiitlieito been de.-5cribed, viz., the species 

 from Calopsittacus nova-hullandice named in lb80 by tlic 

 indetatigable Piaget (jonlocotes faaclatus (' Les Pediculines,' 

 1S80, p. 236, pi. xix. Hg-. 11). G. fasciatus is a simple 

 member of the genus in which the two large recurved ironlal 

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

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



The genus may be shortly diagnosed as follows : — 



lieatl broader than long. Front margin circular, temi)les 

 rouiuled, 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 Goniodida3, the genitalia in the male are 

 distinctly iS'irmoid in character, so that in all probability it 

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

 phoiidie, raised by Mjbberg in 1910 to include the genera 

 DocophoTus^ Nirmus, and F seudonirmus, 



Parayoniocotes gn'pocephalus, sp. n. 



This species is described from spirit-material, probably C)£ 

 some considerable age, in the collection of the liritish 

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

 on (Jhrysolis aiiyusta [now known as Amazona augusta, 

 G. H. (jrray], the only other information available concommg 

 tiiem being ilie locality indicated in the two words "August 

 Amazon " (.swe).
