Bonomiella colimbae Emerson, 1957a 



Bonomiella oolwnhae Emerson, 1957a. Florida Ent., 40: 60, figs, 



1-3. 

 Type host: Domestic Pigeon. 

 Other New England host: 



Zenaidura macroura (Linnaeus) — Mourning Dove. 



Emerson (1957a) after examining 26 domestic pigeons, collected 9 

 specimens of B. oolumbae . These were from Leavenworth, Kansas. This 

 is the only known collection of this species, to date, in the United 

 States. 



I have examined 18 domestic pigeons from Maine, Vermont, New 

 Hampshire, and Massachusetts and have found a single female of 

 Bonomiella colwnbae in a collection made by R. L. Blickle, Portland, 

 Maine, Feb. 10, 1958. 



The genus description will serve to identify this species.
