Some new Species of Mallophaga from Michigan.* 

 BY M. A. CARRIKER, JR., AND CHARLES A. SHULL. 



(Plate V.) 



The new species of Mallophaga described in this paper were 

 captured on birds taken in Huron Co., Mich., during the sum- 

 mer of 1908, by Mr. N. A. Wood, taxidermist to the Museum 

 of the University of Michigan, and ornithologist on the Michi- 

 gan Biological Survey during that summer. 



The specimens of Mallophaga taken were examined very 

 carefully by Mr. M. A. Carriker, Jr., who described, named and 

 prepared the illustrations of the new species just before leav- 

 ing for South America on a long collecting trip. The descrip- 

 tions as here given are taken verbatim from his manuscript 

 notes. 



Of the five new forms found, two species and one sub- 

 species belong to the genus Colpocephalum, one to the genus 

 Mcnopon, and one to that small and interesting genus Nitz- 

 schia.
