ARGAS sp. 



(Mot illiistrated) 



A single damaged larva, raotmted on a slide, sent by Mr. 

 E. T. M. Reid of the Sudan Veterinary Service, represents an Tin- 

 known species of tick. Although many of the characters of this 

 specimen are obliterated, enough are preserved to indicate dis- 

 tinct differences from A. vespertilionis , to v/hich it is probably 

 more or less closely allied, and from all other described species. 

 This larva was collected from a Pachyotus bat at Latome, Equatoria 

 Province, on 18 March 1951 by Mr. J. Owen.
