Our description is based on numerous specimens from France and 

 an examination of the types. 



Types ((/ ?) in the Zoological Museum, Berlin; origin unknown. 

 The types of the immature stages (N. 2763, o, L, figured) are in 

 Cambridge. 



NOTE 



Haemaphysalls concinna var. kochl Neumann, 1905.

 of " H. hiriido Koch," a species which he subsequently recognized as purely nominal 

 in view of the types not being available. (We include H. hirudo in our list of
