2 A CENSUS OF AUSTRALIAN MALLOl'HAGA 



MALLOPHAGA FROM BIRD8. 

 Drom.eus nov.ehollandi.e, Lath. 



Degeeriella asymmetrica. [Xitzsch], Johnston & 

 Harrison, 1912. 



8yns. Nirmus asymmetricus, Xitzsch, 1866, xxviii., 

 p. 370 : Nitzsoh in Giebel, 1874 p 151, pi. 8, figs. 8-9 ; 



Piaget, 1877, p : 1880, p. 205, pi. 17, fig. 3 (Paris 



Zoo). 



Nirmus setosum, Le Souef & Bullen, 1902, xviii.' 

 p. 157, figs. 5-6 {nee. N. setosus, Giebel, 1876). 



We have examined the type of N. setosum, Le 

 Souef and Bullen, and find it to be identical with 

 Xitzsch's species as described and figured in both 

 Giebel and Piaget. Le 8ouef figures the male as 

 possessing continuous bands on the posterior segments 

 of the abdomen. This appearance is due to the strong 

 ventral markings showing through in the cleared 

 and mounted specimens. We have examples from, 

 the same host from Queensland, Xew South Wales^ 

 and Victoria. 

 Lipeurus pallidas, Giebel, 1866 {iiec. Piaget, 1880). 



Recorded from this host. Stated by Giebel (1874, 

 p. 219) to agree so completely with L. heterographvs 

 from the domestic fowl, that he considers th two 

 species identical, and the emu merely an accidental 

 host. 

 Catheturus lath ami, Lath. 

 Goniocotes fissus, Rudow.
