separated by more or less than their own long diameters. Interstitial 
spaces flat, broad, pubescent but scarcely visibly punctulate. Only 
one leg shows, which is of moderate size. Length of fragment, 13.40 
mm.; of prothorax, along median line, 3.50 mm. 
Described from one specimen. 
Type.— In the Museum of the University of Colorado. It was 
collected at Station 14, Florissant, Colo., by S. A. Rohwer. 
Placed in Athous because of the form, the coxal plates (only in- 
distinctly seen), the frontal margin and the very long prosternal lobe 
which shows through as indicated, Plate 6, fig. 5. In this figure, the 
dotted lines will show the courses of the elytral striae, but the punc- 
tures are actually somewhat smaller and more numerous than the dots 
which might be taken to represent them. It seems smoother than 
the recent North American species known to me. 
PARANOMUS EXANIMATUS, sp. nov. 
Plate‘6) fiz. 63.7. 
Form only moderately elongate. Head practically smooth. An- 
tennae not well enough preserved to show the relative sizes of most 
of the joints, but they are quite weakly or scarcely serrate, reaching, 
in life, beyond the prothoracic hind angles. Prothorax in poor 
condition and probably somewhat distorted, but as shown it is a little 
more than one fifth broader than long, wider in front of the middle, 
front angles a little acute, sides moderately arcuate in anterior three 
fourths, thence sinuate, in reverse curve, to the hind angles which 
are sharp and slightly divergent, base broadly emarginate in front 
of the scutellum, sinuate each side, surface minutely, sparsely punc- 
tured. Scutellum suborbicular. Elytra three times the length of the 
prothoracic median line, conjointly rounded apically, not striate nor 
visibly punctured but finely pubescent. Underside nearly smooth. 
Length, 7.00 mm.; of elytron, 4.30 mm. 
Described from one specimen, with counterpart. 
Type.— In the collection of H. F. Wickham. Wilson Ranch, 
Florissant, Colo. With it is associated, somewhat doubtfully, an- 
other from the same source. 
Most probably a Paranomus, but more finely sculptured than P. 
costalis or P. estriatus, the only recent species know to me. 
The prosternal sutures are moderately curved, the hind coxal
