Genus HaenuiplijixaUs 



erect doi-sal retrograde spine at the niiddle of its posterior border, has 

 its internal angle produced to a retrograde point, hardly raised above 

 the dorsal surface of the palj). lu the </ (Fig. 8()3) the point may be 

 altogether absent, the postero-internal angle of article 3 being bluntly 

 rounded. The spiracle is, as a ride, somewhat narrower and more 

 transverse than in the type. 



This variety was described from specimens marked * ( $ types) 

 in the subjoined list relating to the geographical distribution ; it 

 was named intermedia because it seemed to connect the group with 

 a dorsal spur on articlo 3 of the palp with another group, destitute of 

 such a spur, of which Id. campanidata is the type. 



Types in Cambridge (N. 1686 c/* ; N. S4< d and h; N. 327, 

 N. 515 a $ ). We presented co-type N. 34 Ji $ to the collection of 

 the London School of Tropical Medicine.

Although widely distributed in India, this variety has not reached 

 us from the same places as H. bispinosa, and it does not appear to 

 be as common. We have received the following specimens: (*N. 327), 

 from a cat, Agra, collected in 1907 by Dr E. H. Hankin ; (*N. 1686, 

 c/ types), from Lejms rujicaudatus, collected, ill. 1911, at Shamghar 

 by Mr N. B. Kinnear. 



The following were collected in Cutch by Mr N. B. Kinnear: —
