40. HAEMAPHYSALIS ELONGATA Neumann, 1897. 



Figs. 488-440. 



Lit. and Icon. : Xeumann, 1897, pp. 354-356, Fig. 19 (reproduced) ; Donitz, 1907 a, 

 p. 73 (quotes Xeiunann) ; Blanchard, 1909, p. 150, Figs. 186, 187 (taken from 

 Neumann) ; Xeumann, 1911 a, p. 113, Fig. 61 (condensed from Neumann, 1897, 

 with the same figure as before). 



Male (Figs. 438, 439) : Remarkable because of the backward 

 protrusion of the body when replete ; the ventral festoons are folded 

 backward dorsally as shown in Fig. 438 ; in a fully distended specimen, 

 the bod}^ ma}^ project 06 mm. Scutum: long and narrow, about 

 2x1 mm.^ ; cervical gi-ooves broad, shallow, sub-parallel ; lateral 

 grooves well-marked behind a pseudo-scutum and including either 

 one or two festoons ; pseudo-scutum chiefly indicated by its more 

 uniform texture compared to that of the rest of the scutum, 

 which is diversified by raised longitudinal ridges, a median ridge or 

 carina being rather conspicuous ; punctations irregular, shallow, con- 

 fluent, not numerous. Capitulum : base much broader than long, 

 rectangular, with well-marked sharp cornua ; palps long, especially 

 article 2, which is thrice as long (dorsally) as article 3, its posterior 

 border being produced backward and hollowed to receive coxa I ; 

 a slight retrograde spine under article 3 ; hypostome 3 | 3, teeth small 

 and uniform. Venter : anal gi-ooves ogival ; spiracle oval, slightly 

 pointed dorso-laterally. Legs: all the coxae bear a sharp internal 

 spur; in some specimens these spurs increase progressively from I 

 to IV, in others the spur on coxa I is longest" ; a sharp ventral spur 

 on all the trochanters ; tarsus IV rather stout and narrowing rather 

 abruptly ; pads long. 



^ The scutums of our 5 <i measure respectively: 2"15xl, 2-lxl"2, 2x1-1, 1-9 x 1-2, 

 1-8x1 mm. 



2 Compare our Figure 438 with that of Neumann (Fig. 439, here reproduced).
