Menaoanthus aurooapillus Carriker, 1958 



Menaaanthus aurooapillus Carriker, 1958. Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., 



60: 172, fig. 6-8. 

 Type host: Seiurus aurooapillus (Linnaeus) — Ovenbird. 



The types were collected at Fort Meade, Anne Arundel County, 

 Maryland, July 21, 1955. Carriker (1958) states that this species is an 

 unusual member of the genus Menaoanthus , resembling in some ways , 

 especially the shape of the head, the genus Maohaerilaemus . The ven- 

 tral head spines are poorly chitinized and are set at an unusual dis- 

 tance behind the bases of the mandibles.
