H. numidiana and H, Wellmgtoni 479 



Through the courtesy of Professor Neumann, we have been able to 

 examine a </ and $ from his collection (No. 999) and he has presented 

 us with a co-type (N. 2890 cT)- The types, 3 </ 1 ? , were taken from 

 a hedgehog, at Tebessa, Algeria, in 1894 by Fayet. Neumann, 1897, 

 p. 349, originally included the species under H. leachi. 



Types in Toulouse (2 </ 1 ?), co-type in Cambridge (1 ^).
