This question might be elucidated next season, and it would also be interesting to find out what sort of damage the beetle causes to the foliage of this handsome wood Goldenrod. Blatchley, in his work on the Coleoptera of Indiana, says that Chalepus nervosa occurs on weeds and bushes of many kinds. So far, I have not seen the beetle crawling in number over any plant except Solidago latijolia. Is it not strange that the discovery was made only after more than twenty years of very active collecting? Outremont, Que., Jan. Uth, 1919. Jos. Ouellet, A NEW PARAJULUS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA. BY RALPH v. CHAMBERLIN, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. In a small collection of Chilopods and Diplopods collected by Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt in British Columbia, Sept., 1918, were several specimens of a new species of Parajulus. These were collected at Agassiz. From the same locality were also secured representatives of Harpaphe haydeniana (Wood) and Bothropolys hoples (Brolemann). A specimen of Paohius orophilus Chamberlin, previously known from Kaslo, was taken at Jaspa, Goat Mountain, at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Parajulus hewitti, sp. nov. The general colour of the female is brown above with the sides paler, a series of small, black spots along each side caused by the black repugnatorial. Fig. 21.—Parajulus heutUi, sp. n.
