fig. 6. 

 Type host: Arenaria interpves (Linnaeus) — Ruddy Turnstone, 



Since the original description, the only other collection has been 

 made in the Philippine Islands. Emerson (1956) placed this species in 

 the genus Longimenopon because of the characters of the head and the ab- 

 dominal chaetotaxy. However, Clay (1962) because of the brush of setae on 

 sternite IV, characteristic of Actomithophilus but not of Longimenopon, 

 placed it in the genus Actomithophilus. For a figure of this rare species 

 see Emerson (1956a) .
