THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 241 



The Lesser Chicken Louse {Goniocotes holognster N.)- 



The length of this species is about .035 to .06 inches. The 

 body of the female is very broad. The head is squared behind, 

 the legs short and the abdomen regularly rounded behind. The 

 colour is light yellowish brown. The abdomen of the male is 

 much shorter and broader and squared behind. 



This species is not common in Canada, though I have specimens 

 taken at Guelph at various times. It has been recorded in the 

 llnited Sta1,es and I have received specimens from Prof. Haseman 

 taken at Columbia, Mo.
