The genus Psoropies, Gerv., is discussed. Megnin's specimens of 

 Psoroptes, found on a buffalo from Cochin China hving in the menagerie 

 of the Paris Museum and determined by him as P. communis, arc 

 really referable to P. natalensis. 



Apparently two species of Psoroptes are parasitic on cattle, as 

 specimens referable to P. communis (var. hovis ) have been found 

 on cattle in South Africa.
