2: 456, pi. 62, figs. 203, 207, and 210. 

 Type host: Rissa tridaatyla (Linnaeus) — Black-legged Kittiwake. 

 New England hosts : 



Larus hyperboreus Gunnerus — Glaucous Gull. 



Lams marimus Linnaeus — Great Black-backed Gull. 



Larus argentatus Pontoppidan — Herring Gull. 



Larus delauarensis Ord — Ring-billed Gull. 



Larus atriailla Linnaeus — Laughing Gull. 



Larus Philadelphia (Ord) — Bonaparte's Gull. 



No extensive work has been done on the various populations infesting 

 the various members of the Larinae perhaps due as much to lack of material 

 as to lack of workers. Sufficient collecting is sure to reveal the presence 

 of Austromenopon transversum on all members of New England Larinae.

Austromenopon uriae Tiramermann, 1954c 



Austromenopon uriae Timmermann, 1954c. Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 5: 



196, fig. 2. 

 Type host: Uria aalge (Pontoppidan) — Common Murre. 



Despite its name the Common Murre is an uncommon bird in New 

 England. I have never captured one to examine it for Mallophaga and I 

 include it here because it is the type host of A. uriae and sufficient 

 collecting will undoubtedly reveal its presence. 



BONOMIELLA 



Bonomiella Conci, 1942. Riv. Soc. Stud. Venezia Tridentina, 23: 1. 

 Type species: Bonomiella insolitunguioolata Conci, 1942.
