IB A LIST OF MALLOPHAGA 



This species was referred to by DeGeer as BicinuT 

 gallince, which name therefore appears to have priority. 

 Linnseus. described a Pediculiis gallince ( ^ Menopon gallince), 

 but soon afterwards DeGeer divided up the Linnsean genus 

 into Pediculus (inc hiding the blood-sucking species), and 

 Ricinus (including those which feed on epidermal structures) > 

 Thus P. galli7ice L. should have become E. gallince (L.), 

 in which case E. gallince DeGeer would be invalid, as it 

 refers to a different species. DeGeer's work is not avail- 

 able to us, so that we do not know whether that author 

 believed that he was referring to Linnaeus' species, or whether 

 he took no cognisan'^e of P. gallince L. and erected a nevr 

 species, E. gallince. We are thus unable to state whether 

 the parasite should be termed Gc. gallince (Geer), or Gc. 

 hologaster (X.), though it seems to us that Xitzsch's name 

 is the more correct.
