Mallophaga of the Vizcacha. 



By V. L. KELLOGG and S. NAKAYAMA, Stanford University, 



California. 



(Plate VIII.) 



The vizcacha (Lagidiwn pemannm Meyen) is a small, long- 

 tailed, long-eared, soft-furred rodent of the Andes, with a 

 head like a rabbit's and body like that of a giant mouse, a 

 mouse as large as a small hare. It belongs with the chinchillas 

 in the family Chinchillidae (or Lagostomidae) which com- 

 prises only four living species, confined to Chili, Bolivia, Peru 

 and Argentina. It is, however, a well-represented family in 

 the South American Tertiaries and Pleistocene, at least three- 

 score species having been described from fossils collected all 

 the way from Patagonia to Peru. 



Only one ectoparasite, has been heretofore recorded from 

 the vizcacha, namely a species of Gyro pits (Mallophaga) de- 

 scribed by Gay in his Fauna Chilensis (about 1850), but
