PARAQOGES n. g. A curious little species from California constitutes this genus. Tt has all the essential characters of Tj/rhiua, ex(H>pt that the pygidium is somewhat cxi)osed, and the claws are small, sin\ple and api)roximate. The beak is longer than the prothorax, cylindrical, nearly straight, and rather slender. The antennal grooves descend obli(]Uely below the eyes, which are small, rounded, and coarsely granulated. The funicle is (l-jointed; first and second joints longer, the first being stouter; :?-() gradually a little broader, some- what rounded; club oval-pointed, pubescent, annulated. Protliorax as long as wide, constricted near the tip, without jiostocidar lobes. Ely'ra oblong elongate, wider than the prothorax, separately rounded at tip. of second ventral segment prolonged as far as the fourth segment. Legs mod- crate, thighs not toothed; tibia' oblicpiely truncate at tip, scarcely i)ercep- tibly mucronate; tarsi spongy beneath, third joint broader, bilobed; claws small, sim]»le, not divergent. 1. P. maculatus n. sp. Blackish brown, densely clothed with brownish gra}^ scales, head and middle of prothorax darker; the latter with a few
