This species, studied in detail by Drasche (1882) and re- 

 cently separated from the allied species Subuliira allodapa 

 (Crepl. 185-1) — (see Seurat's work, 1914), was found in a new 

 host — Centropiis superciliosus. Until the present this species 

 has been described from Caprimiilgus campestris, Caprimul- 

 gus nacunda and DicJioIophus marcgrafi Illig"., and recently 

 from the domestic hen and from the guineafowl (according 

 to Gendre's data^). However, it may be supposed that Gendre 

 did not deal with Suhidura suctoria M o 1., but with Subidura 

 aUodapa (Crepl. 1854) which is found in the red partridge — a 

 bird closely related to the hen and guineafowl. The only 

 character by which S. aUodapa differs from S. suctoria, na- 

 mely the inequality of spicula, is not mentioned at all in the 

 work of Gendre; therefore we may only make the supposi- 

 tion that Gendre dealt with S. cdlodapa, on account of the 

 aflinity of the hosts of his parasites with the red partridge — 

 the host of S. allodapa. 



VII. Genus Strongyluris A. Miiller 1894. 



In the material investigated there are two species, already 

 described from Africa, belonging to this genus. 



11. Strongyluris brevicaudata A. Miiller 1894. 



This species was taken from three hosts: Agama M 2, 

 Agama 'Nk 11 and Agama M 13. 



I consider it necessary to make some addition to the descrip- 

 tion of this parasite by i\I tiller, Gendre, Railliet et Henry, 

 as follows: 



1) The oral organs of this species, as it is demonstrated 

 by my figures 30 and 31 (tab. V.) consist of three lips of equal 

 size; on the surface of eachofthem there protrude 2 tubercles. 

 From the interior part of each lip a small chitinous spear- 

 shaped process is directed into the mouth-cavity with its 

 point forwards. 



2) The massive sucker of this species seen in profile is 

 characterized by the presence of a special sac-shaped out-
