armatnre also occurs among the species of Pi/giopsijUa discovered since the paper 

 i|iioted above was written. 



The female has only one receptaculnm seminis, which is characterised by 

 the duct not entering the head of the receptaculum at the extremity or near it, 

 but near the tail. 



Notiopsylla kerguelensis Taschenb. (1880) (text-figs. 1-3). 



Head. — We figure the head of the female (text-fig. 1). That of the male 

 differs in the upper surface being much less slanting. The frons is not really 

 angnlate, as the untenable generic name Goniop.v/llus implies. The antennal groove 

 extends farther upwards in the male than in the female, the antenna being 

 longer in the male, especially the club. The bristles of the head and antenna

are practically the same in both sexes. The rostrum nearly reaches to the 

 trochanter, the last segment being the longest. The maxilla is sharply pointed 

 in a lateral view, and almost extends to the middle of the forecoxa. The first 

 three segments of the maxillary palpus are almost of equal length, the measure- 

 ments of segments I to IV being 24, 23, 18, 25. 



Thorax. — The pronotum is as long as the metanotam, the mesonotum being 

 a trifle longer. There are two rows of bristles on the pronotnm, both distinctly 

 oblique, the ventral bristles of the posterior row being antemedian and the 

 dorsal ones postmcdiau. In front of these rows there are some additional dorsal 

 bristles, which are slightly more numerous in the male than in the female. The 

 meso- and metanota have each one row of long bristles and four to five rows of 

 small ones. The mesopleura bear eight to ten slender bristles. The metepisternum 

 has no bristles, whereas there are on the metasternum two in the female and 

 four in the male, which are placed in a vertical row on the ventral two-thirds 

 of this sclerite. The metepimerum bears twenty odd bristles arranged in four
