Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. 
The following new species from the collection of the Mu-

Psocidse 
Compsocus gen. nov. 
Belongs to the Amphientominse. Head moderately broad, 
bent down, clypeus fairly large, ocelli present, legs rather 
short, hind pair longer, tarsi of three joints, femora rather 
swollen, on hind tibia only a few spines on lower apical 
half. In hind wings the media is forked, and the axillary 
separate from anal. In fore wings the subcosta is long, 
curved, and ends in radius, forming a long cell; but one 
axillary vein, but this plainly forked toward base, axillary 
and anal end together; radius forked once, media twice; 
the cubital fork is near to margin and so almost forms an 
areola postica; surface of wing with many minute, short 
scales, some stout and rounded at tip, others longer and 
forked at tip, each kind in separate patches.
