dorsal protuberance. Legs: coxa I with weaker spur than in the (/> 

 a slight sharp spur at the middle of the posterior border of coxae II and 

 III. a short blunt spur at the internal angle of coxa IV ; tarsus IV 

 slightly longer than in the cT, tapering gradually. When replete the 

 $ may attain a length of 8'o mm. 



Our description is based on (N. 893) 1 </ 1 $ from Japan, kindly 

 presented by the late Prof W. Donitz. The specimens were found on a 

 dog at Ise, and on cattle or on a horse at Hiroshima. Neumann (1905 

 p. 238; 1911 (/, p. 112) states that his armata (i.e. his original Jlava 

 were found in Japan upon a ho7'se and on vegetation. We have received 

 and determined specimens from India : (N. 763) cT ? from dog, Madras, 

 collected v. 1906 by Mr V. I. Phadke ; (Montgomery coll.) adults from 

 Sus ci'istatus, Muktesar, Vlll. 1905 ; (Indian Mus. coll.) (/ from sheep, 

 on hillside below Phagu (7000 ft.), Simla Hills, Western Himalayas.
