V. New Species of Colinicola, Fassonomedea, Eiconoli-peurus , 

 and Oxylipeurus (Mallophaga: Philopteridae) From Neo- 

 tropical Gallinaceous Birds 



Since my review of these genera, additional material was sent to me for 

 study by Dr. K. G. Emerson. The new species contained in the material 

 are herein described and illustrated. 



Genus Colinicola Carriker 



CoUnicola Carriker, 1945, Rev. Acad. Colombiana Cienc, vol. 6, p. 360. — Type 

 species: Goniodes numidianus Denny. 



The genus may be briefly characterized as follows: Medium sized; head 

 large, longer than wide and front more or less circumfasciate ; temples 

 rounded or slightly flattened; highly dimorphic antennae; pronounced 

 clavi in both sexes; antennal, preantennal, and occipital carinae well 

 developed, but the last not reaching to the occiput; clypeal and post- 

 antennary sutures absent. 



Prothorax well developed, with rounded sides; pterothorax small, wider 

 posteriorly but no longer than prothorax. Abdomen short and oval in 

 both sexes; pleurites normal, with well-developed "heads"; tergites sepa- 

 rated medially, slightly in male, more so in female. 



Male genitalia massive, basal plate large ; both parameres and endomeral 

 sclerites large, strongly chitinized and deeply pigmented, the latter as wide 

 and nearly as long as the former; penis small and short, lying at base of 

 endomeral sclerites. 



Colinicola philortyx, new species 

 Figures v:1-3 



Holotype female, allotype male, and 4 paratypes from Philortyx Jasciatus 

 Gould collected in SW. Mexico, Nov. 7, 1954 (in USNM). 



Diagnosis: Shape of preantennary portion of head is nearest to that of 

 subtenuis, but with frons slightly less attenuated; first and third segments 

 of male antennae are much smaller; shape of abdomen in both sexes is 

 closer to that of opima. 



The allotype, and only male, is in good condition except the genitalia. 

 With only the basal plate remaining, the genitalia are similar to that of 

 opima. On one slide are 5 females, one in fair condition but with many 

 details invisible but the others are more or less reduced to fragments. 

 Except for the antennae, the female head closely resembles that of the 

 male. There is a greater difference in size between the sexes than in any 

 46
