Described from 9 </ and 2 % taken from the ears of ponies, at 

 Muktesar, United Provinces, India, 30. v. and 1-7. vi. 1905, also on

Female (Fig. 332) : Scutum sub-circular, slightly broader than long, 

 0*8 X 0*9 mm., with numerous medium or rather large punctations, 

 most numerous on the lateral fields ; cervical grooves, beginning as 

 shallow depressions, deepening into oval pits at some distance from the 

 anterior border, then broad and shallow to within a short distance of the 

 postero-lateral borders. Capital lun base twice as broad as long, rect- 

 angular, with blunt cornua; porose areas apparently nearly circular, but 

 ill-defined and not easily distinguished ; palps long and, in general 

 facies, much like those of H. montgomeryi, having the lateral salience
