Notes on a Miscellaneous Collection of Mallophaga 



from Mammals. 



By JOHN HOWARD PAINE, Stanford University, California. 



(With Plate XX.) 



Trichodectes mephitidis Osborn. 



Numerous specimens from Mephitis mephitica (Stanford 

 University), Mephitis machura (Fairbanks, Arizona), and a 

 skunk (Choro, Bolivia). This species is very closely allied 

 to T. castoris Osborn, of which it may be merely a variety, a 

 difference in host being a rather slight specific character. 



Trichodectes geomydis Osborn. 



Specimens from Thomomys bottae, T. bulvivarus (Mon- 

 terey, Cal.) and a ground squirrel (Santa Rosa, Cal.). 



Trichodectes setosus Giebel. 



Several individuals of this large species from the western 

 porcupine, Erethison epixanthns (Tnolumne, Cal.).
