it. Ctenophthalmixs nivalis upec. nov. (PI. XI. figs. 13, 14). 



Closely allied to C. oi-iciduliif Wagu. (IS'Js), liiit difteriiig iu the modified 

 segments of the abdomen. 



cJ. The eiglith sternite is sinuate ventrally and jirodnced at each side into a 

 tiiangnlar lobe. The clasper has two non-movable jirocesses. The ni)[)er one of 

 them is rounded and bears about 10 bristles, while the lower one (r) is narrow 

 and trnncate, as shown in the figure (PI. XI. fig. 1:3). The movable process (k) is 

 somewhat longer than it is broad. It is obli(|uely trnncate at the apex, the upper 

 distal angle being produced into a short nose. The ninth sternite (ix. st.) bears 

 numerous slender bristles at the ape-N. 



?. The seventh abdominal sternite, which in C. orieittaUa is produced into 

 two broad and rounded lobes separated fiom each other by a narrow sinus, has 

 only one long triangnlar lobe in the new species, as shown in tlie figure (PI. XI. 

 fig. 14). The eighth tergite bears 5 or 6 long bristles at the ventral and apical 

 margins, 1 long one above the ventral margin, and pro.ximally as well as distaliy 

 a patch of 4 to 6 small hairs. 



We have a small series of both sexes from Le Lautaret, llautes Alpes, taken 

 from a nest of Anicola idcalits in August 19U8 by Dr. Iv. Jordan.

A ? agreeing with Wagner's description and figures has been received from 

 tit. I'aul, Basses Alpes (France), where it was found ou Kcotoni/s na(H'i-i on 

 October 26, 1907, by Monsieur Mottaz. The species does not belong to CUno- 

 psi/Uus, but to Palaeopsylla. 



Wagner also described as Tijjildopsi/lla .^iiiriua (cf. Ilor. Soc. K/it. I'o.in. 

 XXXV. p. 26. t. 1. tigs. 3, 4 [I'.iOu]) a ? from Transbaicalia which he placed after- 

 wards in Falacopsylla. If these two sibirica are ditierent— as (hey ajipear to 

 be— the second will have to receive a new name.
