Goniocotes hologaster, Nitzsch. 

 Specimens from Gallus gal/us (Gaya dist., Bihar). 



Goniocotes rectangulatus, Nitzsch. 

 One male from Pavo nigripennis (no history, India). 



Lipeurus variabilis, Nitzsch. 



Specimens from Gennaeus melano)wtus (Darjiling, Bhu- 

 tan, India), Gennaeus swinhoii (no history), Argiisianiis argus 

 (no history), Phasianus torquatus [hirds in captivity, Calcutta. 

 India), Pavo nigripennis (no history, India) ; also specimens 

 which can be assigned to variabilis, but constitute one or more 

 varieties of the specimens from Chrysolophus pichis (China), 

 Lophura ignila (Zoological Garden, Calcutta, India), Pavo nigri- 

 pennis (Zoological Garden, Calcutta, India) and a domestic fowl, 

 (Calcutta, India). 



Lipeurus rubrofasciatus, Piaget. 



One female from Arbor icola rufigularis (Jorpokri, 7000 ft., 

 E. Himalayas). 



Lipeurus intermedius, Piaget. 



Male and female from Pucrasia macrolopha (Near Simla, W. 

 Himalayas, India). 



Goniodes neumannia, n. sp. 



(Plate XV, figs. 6, 6a. 7 and ya.) 



Two males, eighteen females and two young from a single 

 specimen of Argusianus argus (no history) and three females from 

 another specimen of the same host from Perak, Federated Malay 

 States. This is a curious new form lying rather between Li- 

 peurus and Goniodes, and which in some future revision of the 

 Mallophagan genera should probably be made the type of a new 

 genus, but which we shall for the present include in Goniodes. 



The female of this species is what Taschenberg {Die Mallo- 

 phagen; 1882, pp. 32-34) mistakenly describes as the female of 

 Goniodes curvicornis , Nitzsch, on the basis of a single specimen 

 taken b^^ Nitzsch, with a male of curvicornis, from ''Argus 

 gigantetis'" (which is Argusianus argtts) , and five specimens 

 taken by Ruy, also with a male of curvicornis, from a dried skin 

 of the same host. The males of curvicornis differ so much from 

 these specimens that Taschenberg says that " males and females 

 of curvicornis differ so much from each other that one could 

 scarcely guess their relation if one did not take them from 

 the same host." Our males, however, do unmistakably re- 

 semble the females and are entirely different from the males of
