Catalog of Forms Described as New 

 By M. A. Carriker, Jr. 



THIS CATALOG PRESENTS a Complete list of all new families, subfamilies, 

 genera, subgenera, species, and subspecies of Mallophaga described 

 and published by the author from 1902 to 1967, inclusive. 



All original citations have been given, with corrections of those hosts 

 that were originally erroneous, as well as corrections in the nomenclature 

 of both hosts and parasites. 



The present status, as given for the various categories, has been derived 

 in part from subsequent research by the author, as well as from the publica- 

 tions of others, but where the author's opinion has not been in conformity 

 with that of other workers in the group, his own opinion has been followed 

 in giving the present status of genera, species, and subspecies. In many 

 cases the nomenclature given in the Catalogue of Mallophaga by Hopkins 

 and Clay, 1952, has not been followed, especially in the matter of bi- 

 nomials and trinomials and synonymy. 



All types listed in this catalog, unless specifically indicated otherwise, 

 are presently in the collection of the U.S. National Museum. 



The author wishes it understood that in his work he has designated as 

 "paratypes" only the specimens taken on the same individual host 

 with the "types," a procedure not followed by all workers in this group 

 of insects. 



I am greatly indebted to Dr. J. F. Gates Clarke, Chairman, Department 

 of Etomology, U.S. National Museum, and Dr. K. C. Emerson (especially 

 the latter), for their many helpful suggestions, corrections, and additions 

 during the preparation of the manuscript, and to the Smithsonian In- 

 stitution for the continued assistance it has given me in my studies of this 

 most interesting group of insects.
