are ou the two sides together : iii. 5, 9 ; iv. '-'.), 10 ; v. G-11, 8 or 9 ; vi. 0-11, 8 ; 

 vii. 3-7, 7 or 8 ; the second figures referring in each case to the postmedian row 

 of bristles, and the first numbers to the additional bristles jilaced in front of this 

 row. Tlie numbers are in «.s.s///»7/.s- on sternites iv. to vii. as follows: iv. 9-14, 11 or 

 12 ; V. i:i-l(l, 1 1 or 12 ; vi. 15, 10 or 1 1 ; vii. 12 or 13, 12 or 13. The eighth tergite 

 (text-fig. 4, viii. t.) bears in obtusas a row of five bristles along the ventral margin, 

 a sixth bristle, which is short and thick, being placed above the last as in u.^simdis, 

 but the row in (issimiUs contains only four bristles. Above the row there is in both 

 species a single long bristle accompanied in obtusus h\ to 2 bristles and ia 

 assimilis by 4 to 6. The outline of the seventh steruite is nearly the same in the 

 two species. The apical margin, however, is in axximi/is rather strongly convex 

 below the large lobe, or even produced into a short lobe recalling the narrow lobe of 

 C. agi/rtes agyrtes, whereas in obtusus (text-fig. 4) the margin is only very faintly 

 convex. The oviduct is strongly chitinised near its orifice. 



o. Ctenophthalmus pentacanthus Roths. (1897). 

 1 ? ; Augast 3, off Ihjpudaeus glurcolus. 

 Not previously recorded from Hungary. 



Doratopsylla gen. nov. 



As A. Dampf * has already pointed out, the species described as Ti/pklopsylla 

 dasi/ciiemus Roths. (1897), and now either placed into Ctcnophflinlmus or Palneo- 

 ps'/l/a, does not agree with either of them and requires a new genus for its reception. 

 The rostrum consists of only four segments instead of five, and the fifth segment 

 of all the tarsi bears four lateral pairs of bristles and a ventral proximal pair as 

 in Palaeopsylla. 



There are also tropical species under Ctenophthalmus or PitlaeopsijUa which 

 have the rostrum four-jointed — for instance, intermedia Wagner (190ii) — which, 

 however, do not concern us here.
