•402 Genus Haemajjhysalis 



Neumann founded this species on 20 </ and 2 % found on the dog 

 at Kosempo, Formosa, iv. 1912. We here redescribe the species from 

 5 (^ and 1 % belonging to the type material : 1 $ (type) lent and 4 cT 

 (co-tj'pes) presented by the Deutsches Entomologisches Museum, and 

 1 cT (co-type) presented by Professor L. G. Neumann. Our description 

 and iigures differ somewhat from the author's. We have found (N. 2958) 

 a % from Burma (in a tube together with a $ H. hi/stricis probably 

 from Hystrix bengalensis or Ursus torqiiatus) in the L. Fea collection at 

 the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Genoa.

 Museum, Berlin-Dahlem ; co-types (</ $ ) in the Toulouse and (N. 2715, 

 2730 ; 5 (/s) Cambridge collections.
