252 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXI. 1914. 



A FURTHER NOTE ON KOLENATI'S BAT-FLEAS.* 



By the Hon. N. C. ROTHSCHILD, M.A. 



TN his paper on the parasites of the bats Kolenati gives a list of the museums to 

 J- which he sent specimens from his collection, among them being the University 

 Museum of Jena. Through the kindness of Dr. Haase we have lately been enabled 

 to examine the specimens of that institute received from Kolenati. 



The specimens are contained in the characteristic Kolenati tubes ; cf. I\^ov. Zool. 

 xviii. p. 49(1911). Besides Mites, Ticks and Sijctcribiidae there are eight examples 

 of Bat-Fleas iu this collection. The specimens are not named ; at any rate, the 

 tubes only contain the name of the host, not that of the parasite. The Bat-Fleas 

 belong to the following species : 



1. Ischnopsyllns intermedius Roths. (1898). 

 1 ? ; host : murinus. 



2. Ischnopsyllus octactenus Kolen. (1896). 



1 S and 1 ? ; host : pipistrcUas. 



2 ? ? ; host (?) 



Tlie male bears the characteristic mane on the back. 



3. Ischnopsylhis hexactenus Kolen. (1856). 

 2 c? <? ; host : murinus. 



4. Nycteridopsylla eusarca eusarca Dampf (1908). 

 1 ? ; host : tiociula.
