A full revision of the known species of Dinopsyllus a genus 

 requiring careful discrimination will be found in Novitates 

 Zoologicae, vol. xx. Oct., 1913, p. 561 ff. D. ingens is the most 

 isolated of the species, as the vertical comb along the front edge of 

 the antennal groove is absent or vestigial. The 5th tarsal segment 

 bears 5 pairs of bristles also, instead of the normal 4. But Dr. Jordan 

 and Mr. Rothschild do not think it is advisable at present to place 

 ingens in a separate genus.
