350 Grenus Haemaphjisalis 



Wrongly spelt Haemophysalis by Canestrini, 1884, p. 118, and by a few other 

 authors. 



Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, designated as the type of the genus by 

 Xouniaiui, 1901, p. 340. 



Rhipistoma 1844. Koch, p. 239 (two species : 1 R. leac/iii, 2 li. ellipticum). 1847. 



Koch, p. 27 (but on p. 135 R. ellipticum is transferred to the genus Rhipi- 

 cephaliis ; both ellipticum and leackii, however, = Haemaphysalis leachi 



(Audouin, 1827). 1861. Fiirstenberg, p. 208. 1878. Karsch, p. 337 



("/i. leachii"). 1888. Duges, p. 129. 1890. Canestrini, p. 483. 1892. 



Marx (a), p. 233 ; {h), p 283. 1896. Osborn, p. 261 {R. leporis \v\\\c\\ = Haema- 

 physalis leporis-palustris (Packard, 1869)). 1897. Neumann, p. 326 (given as 



a synonym of Haemaphysalis). 1901. Salmon and Stiles, p. 457 (follow 



Neumann as do also subsequent authors). 



AVrongly spelt Rhipidostoma by Karsch, 1878 ; Duges, 1888 ; also misspelt 

 Rhiphistoma by Osborn, 1896, and the authors who quote him and the spelling of 

 the foregoing writers. 



Rhipistoma leachii Koch, may well be designated as the type of the genus 

 although R. ellipticvm. might serve as well ; since they are synonymous. 

 Salmon and Stiles, 1901, p. 457, cite Marx as if he had designated " JT. leachii" 

 as the type, but he did not do so. 



Rhipicephalus 1847. Koeli, p. 135 {R. llipticus = H. leachi). 1877. L. Koch (6), 



p. 196 {R. expositicius = moat probably H. cinnabarina yar. punctata (Canestrini 

 and Fanzago, 1877). 



Gonixodes 1888. Dugfes, p. 129. 1897. Neumann, p. 343 (as a synonym of 



Haemaphysalis ; subsequent authors agree with Neumann. Gonixodes rostralis 

 Dugfes, the only species = partly Haemaphysalis leporis-palustris (Packard, 

 1 869^). 



Herpetobia 1890. Canestrini, pp. 486, 493, 527. 1891. Canestrini, p. 719. 



1897. Neumann, pp. 327, 329 (as a synonym of Haemaphysalis ; we agree 

 with Neumann. Herpetobia sulcata Canestrini, the only species = probably 

 Haemaphysalis cinnabarina var. punctata (Canestrini and Fanzago, 1877) ; 

 immature stages which Canestrini, 1891, p. 719, supposed might prove to 

 belong to one of the already established genera). 



Opisthodon 1897. Canestrini, p. 468 {0. cuscobius the type = H. cuscobia, a nominal 

 species). Supino (a) and (b), p. 252, gives the following 3 species : 1 0. asiaticus, 

 which Neumann regards as a nominal species : we have examined the type and 

 find it to be H. leachi; 2 0. canestrinii, and 3 0. gestroi Supino = likewise 

 H. leachi. Neumann, 1897, p. 326, gives Opisthodon as a synonym of Haema- 

 physalis, with which we agree. 



Wrongly spelt Opistodon by Wheler, 1906, p. 420, and other authors. 



Prosopodon 1897. Canestrini (a), p. 417 (name proposed as a substitute for 

 Opisthodon which the author found to be preoccupied ; one species, P. cuscobius 

 = merely a nominal species). Merely listed by Blanchard, 1909, p. 150, and 

 Neumann, 191 1(/, p. 105. 



Not Pseudixodes Haller, 1882, p. 311, as stated by Canestrini, 1890, pp. 485-526.
