5. Acari of Java. 



The Uropoda, raentioned in the Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, 

 vol. 39, p. 137, and found by me in a bale of këtan, a kind of rice, 

 arrived in April 1880 from Java, has not yet been described. I will 

 call it Uropoda javensis Oudms., 110V. sp. (see below). The »other 

 Acari\ found together with this new species in këtan, were Tyro- 

 glyphus siro Latr., Glycyphagus domesticus (de Geer) and Cheyletus 

 eruditus (Schrank). 



On the same page, mentioned above, I wrote: »I received 

 a big species, nearly a line in length and three quarters of a line 

 in breadth, from my brother, Mr. G. J. Oudemans, of Terna- 

 ngoeng, in the province of Këdoe, Java, in June 1883." To-day, 

 April 16, 1891, examining the raite, I discovered it to be Greenia 

 perkinsi Oudms., llOV. geil., 110V. sp. (see below), which I had 

 already found in the acarid-chamber of Xylocopa (Koptorthosoma) 

 tenuiscapa Westw. in November of last year. I immediately 

 asked my brother, if he recollected having found, in 1883, a 

 big mite within the abdomen of a big, black wood-bee. By post- 

 card of May 17, he wrote to say that he did not. 



On the same page, mentioned above, I noted the receipt of 

 another mite sent to me by my brother. As it is new to science 

 I will call it Neoparasitus oudemansi Oudms., llOV. gen., llOV. sp. 

 (see below). 



In March 1895 I found on a Triglyphodon dendrophilum, a snake 

 of Java, a few specimens of Ixodidae, which I determined (see 

 Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, vol. 39, p. 192 and 193) as Ambly- 

 omma helvolum C. L. Koch. I then thought Amblyomma decora- 

 tum C. L. Koch the cT of helvolum, because my Q resembled hel- 

 volum and my <ƒ decoratum. Prof. Neumann, of Toulouse, does 

 not share my opinion. He considers A. helvolum, A. decoratum 

 and the species found by me different from one another, only 

 thinking it probable that the new species (A. quadrimaculatum Nn.) 

 may be a variety of decoratum. As I had treated my females with 

 caustic kali and picrocarmin in order to study the exoskeleton,
