5: 219, fig. 141. 

 Type host: Quiscalus quiscula (Linnaeus) — Common Crackle. 



A short broad species very similar to Philopterus agelaii (Osborn, 

 1896). Preantennal region broad, lateral angles rounded, in some cases 

 as wide at tip as at base of trabeculae. Trabeculae large, curved, and 

 with rather acute tips. Pterothorax with long setae along the postero- 

 dorsal margin. Eighth abdominal segment with tergal plate entire; other 

 tergites interrupted medially. 



Osborn (1896) reports this species from Iowa; Wilson (1928) New 

 York; Peters (1928) Ohio; Peters (1936) Massachusetts; Brimley (1938) 

 North Carolina; and Whitehead (1954) Quebec.

 Type host: Parus atricapillus (Linnaeus) — Black-capped

Preantennal region flatly convex in front with 1 setae before 

 the preantennal suture and 2 before the trabeculae; trabeculae long, 

 slender, and weakly curving; dorsal anterior plate large, projecting 

 posteriorly beyond the mandibles. Prothorax small with rounded mar- 

 gins and a single pustulated hair in each posterolateral angle, an- 

 other on the posterior margin just inside of the angles, and 4 

 grouped together in the median region of the segment. Pterothorax 

 with a seta in the posterolateral angle and 10 setae on each half of 

 the posterior margin. Abdomen oval; lateral angles projecting with 

 long setae. 



In addition to the original description of this species from a 

 collection of 1 female and 1 immature specimen from Kodiak Island, the 

 only other report I have found is by Emerson (1940) from Oklahoma.
