1917] McGregor—Eight New Mallophaga of the Genus Lipeurus pas 
strong, reaching behind hind margin of prothorax; basal segment 
with strong spur posteriorly, third segment with a spur-like pro- 
jection. 
Thorax one-quarter again as long as wide. Prothorax rectangu- 
lar, posterior margin nearly straight, bordered laterally by chest- 
nut brown bands from which faint, narrow, underlying bands 
extend inward to near the median line. A weak hair on each side 
of posterior margin midway to center. Metathorax roughly 
quadrate, posterior margin slightly rounded. Submarginal, 
brownish bands ending posteriorly at the smoky-ringed pustula- 
tions on the posterior lateral angles which give rise to five longish 
to long hairs. Anterior and posterior angles each with smoky 
blotches, and median sternal blotches showing through; general 
color pale. A weak hair on the hind margin just within the pus- 
tulations. Legs very long, smoky bordered. 
Abdomen (in the contracted specimen) linear, noticeably con- 
stricted on the third and fourth segments, widest on the first seg- - 
ment. Segments 1 to 8 inclusive with wide, chestnut brown lat- 
eral bands. Segments 2 to 8 with hairs at the posterior lateral 
angles as follows: Segment 2, a long hair; segment 3, a long hair; 
segment 4, a prickle; segment 5, a short spine; segment 6, a short 
spine; segment 7, a longish hair; segment 8, two extremely long, 
slender hairs. Segment 8 gives rise at the middle of lateral plate 
to a prickle and a very long hair, and at the posterior margin two 
pustulations give rise each to two short hairs. Segment 9 bears 
a pair of terminal prickles. Segments each 1 to 8 inclusive bear 
centrally a pair of dorsal spines. Faint lateral blotches, which 
become slightly darker posteriorly, almost totally involve each 
of the segments. A faint genital blotch involves segments 7, 8 
and 9.
