4o-2 Genus HaemaphysaJis 



(S. 3011 = Berlin Mus. No. 185) maii}^ </ ? o and L from Perameles 

 dorevonus, Astrolabe Bay, German New Guinea. After this description 

 was written and the figures completed, we were able to examine speci- 

 mens of H. novae-guineae Hirst (cT $ ) through ,the courtesy of the 

 author. We regard Hirst's species as but a variety of H. spinigera; 

 his description was based on numerous specimens taken from Kangaroo, 

 Perameles, and Hydromys sp., at Sattelberg, Huon Gulf, German New 

 Guinea, 1911, by Prof. F. Forster. 



Types {^ $ ) in the British Museum ; co-types (N. 2903, ^ % , 

 from Hydromis), and our tj-pes (N. 2673) of the o are in Cambridge.

Haemaphysalis concinna C. L. Koch, 1844, pp. 237-238 ; 1847, p. 125, PI. XXVII, 

 Figs. 99, 100, ^ and 9 > coloured, fairlj- good but for the capituhim of the $. 

 Orisrin undetermined. 



Haemaphysalis concinna C. L. Koch, in Neumann, 1897, pp. 338-341, Figs. 4-6 

 (reproduced). Neumann is wrong in giving Ixodes nigrolineatus Packard 

 and /. cookei Packard in his synonymy of H. concinna (see Ticks, Part II, 

 pp. 280 et seq.) ; Salmon and Stiles, 1901, Figs. 219-221 (reproduced from 

 Neumann). Blanchard, 1909, p. 148, quotes Neumann. 



Ixodes chelifer Megnin, 1880, p. 132 ; aU the author says of this tick is that 

 it is distinct from Ixodes ricinus "the palp, of which the third article is 

 extended inward in a curved point, simulating, with its mate, a pair of 

 pincers." He collected the ^ only. Canestrini, 1890, p. 526, and Berlese, 

 1891, fasc. LVIIl, No. 10, wrongly give /. chelifer Megnin as a synonym of 

 H. punctata ( = cinnaharina var. punctata).

Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, in Bonnet, 1908, pp. 259-260, poor description, 

 condensed from Neumann, 1897 ; Fig. 28, of $ capitulum, is original, but 

 bad. Banks, 1908, p. 32, says the record of the presence of concinna in the 

 United States is " due to wrong synonymy " (refers to Neumann, 1897, 

 q.v. supra). Blanchard, 1909, pp. 148-150, Figs. 180-184, taken from
