1914-] Kellogg & Paine : Mallophaga. 225 



rounded, ocular blotch. Head widest before the antennae and 

 narrowing at once behind the eye, or straight for a short 

 distance as is the case in some specimens (see figure) ; tem- 

 ples compressed, rounded, terminating in two rounded projections 

 behind, each bearing a spine, and into which the marginal band of 

 the concave occiput does not enter ; occipital blotches wanting. 

 Temples with two long hairs, one short one before the others and a 

 prickle behind them ; dorsal surface of head with four unusually 

 long hairs, two on the clypeus and one near each ocular blotch ; 

 also two short ones on the occiput. 



Thorax small, much shorter than head and darker. Pro- 

 thorax quadrangular with sides straight and slightly diver- 

 gent, bearing a long hair just before the posterior lateral angles.

Fig. 2. — Goniodes sect us, Kellogg and Paine; Head and last 

 segments of abdomen of female. 



Metathorax but little narrower than head, with sides rounding 

 inward anteriorly, each bearing two long hairs, and poste- 

 rior margin convex on the abdomen bearing eight long hairs, 

 the outer two on each side being paired. Posterior pair of legs 

 with long tibiae. 



Abdomen round, in older specimens much more so than 

 is shown in the figure, nearly as broad as long ; entire surface a clear 

 golden brown, except the lateral bands which are red- brown , 

 these latter are long and turn in along the anterior margin 

 of each segment. The dorsal hairs arise along the middle of 

 each segment, rather than along the posterior margin as is 

 usual ; those hairs near the horizontal portion of the lateral 

 bands are grouped and longer. Last segment rounded, protru- 

 ding and entire, bearing numerous long hairs and a few short 

 spines. Genitalia sHghtly chitinized, indistinct even in old 

 specimens.
