492 Genus HaemapJiy sails 



intervals sometimes dark. Venter : sexual orifice broad, between 

 coxae II ; spiracles almost trapezoid, with blunt rounded dorsal pro- 

 tuberance. Capitulum : base rectangular, dorsally barely twice as 

 broad as long, punctate all over, and with short blunt cornua ; the 

 rest of the capitulum notably bell-like in shape (hence campanulata) 

 owing to the forwardly curved lateral projections of article 2 of the 

 palps ; hj^postome 4 | 4, files of broad teeth, about 8 teeth per file, 

 the outermost teeth the stoutest ; palps without any dorsal spines, but 

 the ventral border of article 2 projects strongly backwards, and article 3 

 has a well-marked ventral retrogi'ade spine. Legs : coxae each with a 

 short blunt spur ; tarsi IV very short and thick, ending in a somewhat 

 abrupt slope, the false articulation about the middle of the article. 



Female (Fig. 432) : Body yellow, somewhat parallel-sided, some- 

 times attaining 7x4 mm. when distended ; marginal grooves including 

 two festoons. Scutum: 1'25 x I'l to 1"1 x 1 mm.\ glossy-brown or 

 yellow, cordiform, finely punctate ; cervical grooves well-marked, far 

 apart, at first convex outwardly, then turning outward. Venter : 

 yellow ; spiracles like those of the (f, but with dorsal protuberance 

 even less marked. Capituluni : base broader and shorter than in the (/, 

 with less distinct cornua ; porose areas oval, their axes converging 

 forward, far apart, the interval twice their diameter, a narrow longi- 

 tudinal pit midway between them ; the rest of the capitulum like that 

 of the </, but even more markedly bell-shaped; hypostome 4 | 4, with 

 teeth narrower than in the (/. Legs: coxae as in the cT, tarsus IV 

 short, somewhat humped. 



Description based on numerous specimens (N. 897) taken from 

 Chinese dogs in Mongolia by Major M. L. Hearn, and received by 

 us from Colonel B. Skinner, R.A.M.C, in 1906. They agreed in every 

 respect with specimens kindly lent by Professor Neumann (3. III. 1908) 

 as H. flava, and with others so named by him in the British Museum. 



We have also received : (N. 524 a), 1 $ , collected with other ticks, 

 from cattle and horses, at Wei-Hai-Wei, China, by Dr W. M. Muat, 

 X. 1908 and (Berlin Mus. No. 166) $s from Chengtu, China, collected 

 by Consul Weiss; (N. 579), 2 cT 2 $, from a dog, Yokohama, Japan, 

 collected by A. Owston, iv. 1902, and presented to us by Hon. N. C. 

 Rothschild; Dr Miyajima has sent us adults (N. 2917, 2921) found 

 on house rat, 11. ix. 1912, and on dog, 18. vi. 1914, at Tokio. 

 We include here (N. 2886) 1 ? from dog, Tokio, 1894, Janson coll.
