4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL, 125 
publications, and with the institutions supplying the material. I 
also visited the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, with 
which Moore had been actively associated for more than half a century. 
I have succeeded in verifying the existance of type-specimens of 70 
taxa of the species-group, at the following seven institutions: 
United States National Museum, Washington, D.C. (USNM): 59 species and 
subspecies (21 holotypes, 13 syntypes, and 111 paratypes). 
British Museum (Natural History), London, England (BMNH): 16 species 
and subspecies (15 holotypes and 11 paratypes). Data kindly furnished by R. W. 
Sims and J. G. George. 
Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Penn. (ANSP): 5 
species (4 holotypes, 2 syntypes, and 2 paratypes). Personal visit kindly arranged 
for by C. W. Hart, Jr. 
Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta, India (ZSI): 8 species and subspecies 
(8 holotypes). Data kindly furnished by A. P. Kapur. 
Australian Museum, Sydney, Australia (AM): 2 species (2 holotypes and 2 
paratypes). Data kindly supplied by C. N. Smithers and F. H. Talbot. 
American Museum of Natural History, New York, N.Y. (AMNH): 2 species 
(2 holotypes and 1 paratype). Data kindly supplied by Arnold Ross. 
Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii (BPBM): 2 species (2 holotypes 
and 1 paratype). Data kindly supplied by Dennis M. Devaney. 
The following institutions were contacted in the search for type- 
specimens, but with negative results: 
Beltsville Parasitological Laboratory, Animal Disease and Parasite Research 
Division, Agricultural Research Center, USDA, Beltsville, Md., through Willard 
W. Becklund; Illinois Natural History Survey, Urbana, Ill., through John D. 
Unzicker; Department of Zoology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn., 
through Franklin G. Wallace; and Sarawak Museum, Kuching, Sarawak, Ma- 
laysia, through Benedict Sandin. 
No type material was uncovered for 16 taxa of the species-group 
and 1 variety. It is hoped that these will be found. The missing types 
include the following: 
GLOSSIPHONUDAE: from Illinois, Actionobdella inequiannulata Moore, 1901la, 
Placobdella montifera Moore, 1906; from Connecticut, Helobdella papillata Moore, 
1952b; from Mexico, Placobdella mexicana Moore, 1898; from Siberia, Protoclepsine 
sexoculata Moore, 1898. Pisctcotipaz: from Chile, Platybdella chilensts Moore, 
1910; from Japan, Trachelobdella okae Moore, 1924c. Hirupin1par: from Puerto 
Rico, Diplobdella antellarum Moore, 1901b, Hirudinaria blanchardi Moore, 1901b; 
from Minnesota, Haemopis plumbeus Moore, 1912; from India, Hirudo nipponia 
var. fuscolineata Moore, 1924c; from Louisiana, Philobdella gracile Moore, 1901a. 
ERPOBDELLIDAE: from Northwest Territories, Canada, Dina dubia Moore and 
Meyer, 1951; from Illinois, Dina microstoma Moore, 1901a; from Minnesota,

annulata Moore, 1922. DisstecostomipaE: from Guatemala, Dviestecostoma

For each of the new taxa described by Moore, which are listed 
alphabetically by family, I have given the original reference as well
