H. papuana

Larva (Fig. 341): Scutum cordate, broader than long (about 

 2'3 X 3'3 mm.). Capitulum: like that of the o, with obscure division 

 between palpal articles 2 and 3. Legs : as in the o, but the spurs on 

 coxae II and III practically absent. When replete, the larva attains 

 1-35 X 11 mm. 



Thorell's excellent figures of the </ and % leave no doubt as to the 

 identity of this species, and show clearly various characteristics not 

 mentioned in his description, such as the ridge-like tracts, referred 

 to in our description, the short indefinite lateral grooves, and the 

 inward dorsal projection of article 2 of the palps. 



Our description is based on specimens collected in Borneo by 

 Dr A. R. Wellington : (N. 220, 295) 2 (/ 2 ? 3 o from dog, Sarawak,

I. 1907, and (N. 309) 3 c/ 1 ? from pig, Sarawak, vir. 1907. We have 

 also received (N. 1563) 30 (/ 1 ? 1 o and 1 L from Ursus malayanus, 

 collected ii. 1912 at Kuching, Sarawak, by J. C. Moulton. We possess 

 specimens from Java: (N. 496 h ^) fi-om Felis pardus, collected by 

 Dr J. C. Koningsberger in 1908 and (N. 3117 a cT) from wild jng, 

 Tjibaroesa near Buitenzorg, 1914, Dr de Blieck coll. ; we have deter- 

 mined adults found in Sumatra on a tiger (Schiiffner 3 a) 1912. 

 The atypical form (N. 2116 cT) we have figured, was found on a pariah 

 dog, near Kota Baru, Kelantan, Federated Malay States, 17. in. 1913, 

 by Dr J. D. Gimlette. 



Thorell's types (1 (/ 1 $ ) were found on a mammal at Ramoi, New 

 Guinea ; they were collected by L. M. D. Albertis. We do not know 

 where these types are deposited. Our types of the o and L are in 

 Cambridge.
