  is 
  no 
  definitive 
  information 
  that 
  the 
  two 
  strikingly 
  different 
  species 
  

   of 
  Geckobia 
  here 
  described 
  actually 
  illustrate 
  Hirst's 
  observation, 
  it 
  

   will 
  probably 
  be 
  found 
  that 
  the 
  two 
  forms 
  live 
  on 
  different 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  body 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  host.
