M(i/c. — The basal lour antennal joints, though decreasing 

 slightly, are not far from being ecjual in length ; the terminal 

 three arc nearly tM'icc as long as they are broad.

Group Cylindrorhiiiidae. 

 PrARCnus, gen. uov. 



Allied to Sargon, the rostrum more c\])aiuled in front, yet 

 less so than in Amujotus. The scrobes become vague behind 

 and are directed to the lower surfiice. The eyes are trans- 

 verse, almost truncate in front, and rather near the thoracic 

 margin. Ocular lobes only feebly developed, but the pro- 

 sternum is distinctly emarginated. The scape is shorter and 

 just touches the front of the eye. The funiculus is longer 

 than the scape, the basal two joints are equal and mode- 

 rately long, joints 3 and !• are longer than broad, and 5 to 7 

 are bead-like. (Jliib oviform, pointed, and ])ubescent. The 

 larsi have dense brush-like soles, but witli a bare linear space 

 along the middle ; their third joint is deeply bilobed. Ante- 

 rior cuaw slightly separated. 



Jn Plidxoteles the e\ es touch the front of the thorax and 

 the tarsi are narrow, with scantily clad soles. ]n Plnt'o- 

 phaiivs the eyes and scrobes arc very similar, but the ocular 

 lobes are well developed and the tarsal vestiture is very scanty. 



PparcliMS Lewisi, sp. n. 



Elongote, ])iceous, covered with depressed, greyish, rather 

 elongate scales. 



Rostrum slightly shorter than the thorax, Icebly tricarinate 

 above, its apex with a few yellowish .seta^, but otherwise 

 nude, and irregularly jjunctate. Tlwraiv o{ cfpial length and 

 Ijjeadth, subeylindrical, widest near the front, evidently
