Condemned Species 517 



Opisthodon Canestrini, 1897. 



asiaticus Supino, 1897 a ; 1897 6, p. 252, PI. XIII, Fig. 22 = ^. leachi (Audouin, 

 1827). See furtVier under synonymy of H. leachi. 



canestrinii Supino, 1897 a; 1897 6, p. 252, PI. XIII, Fig. -21 = H. leachi 

 (Audouin, 1827). See further under synonymy of H. leachi. 



cuscohius Canestrini, 1897, p. 468= H. cuscobia (Canestrini) Neumann, 1897 

 p. 356. Described by Canestrini from one ^ of which he gives the 

 following characters : Size 2-0 x Tl mm., hypostome 5 | 5, tarsi 3 ;ind 4 with 

 two spurs ; fomid by L. Biro on Cuscus sp., at Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen, 

 New Guinea. This, the ti/pe of the author's genus Opisthodon, has been 

 lost. The species is purely nominal. 



gestroi Supino, 1897, p. 252, PI. XIII, Fig. 23 = ff. leachi (Audouin, 1827). See 

 further under synonymy of H. leachi. 



Prosopodon Canestrini, 1897. 



cuscohius (Canestrini) Canestrini, 1897, p. 417 (footnote) =ir. cuscobia (Cane- 

 strini) in Blanchard, 1909, p. 150. See above under Opisthodon the generic 

 name which the author found was preoccupied and for which he substituted 

 Prosopodon. 



Rhipicephalus Koch, 1844. 



ellipticus Koch, 1847, p. 135, PI. XXX, Fig. 111. Species based on one $ 

 from the Cape of Good Hope. Judging from the description and figure, 

 we may safely conclude that the tick was H. leachi (Audouin, 1827) ; we 

 agree in this with Neumann. See also under Rhipistoma. 



expositicius L. Koch, 1877 6, p. 196 = most probably E. cinnaharima var. 

 punctata (Can. and Fan.), judging from the description. 



Rhipistoma Koch, 1844 (misspelt " Rhipidostoma " by Karsch, 1878, and Duges, 



1888, and " Rhiphistoma" by Osborn, 1896). 

 ellipticum Koch, 1844, p. -2^ = Rhipicephalus ellipticus Koch, 1847, p. 135 (see 



above) = Zr. ^eacAi (Audouin, 1827). 

 leachii'm Koch, 1844, p. 239 (cites Savigny), and in Karsch, 1878, p. 331 = ff. 



leachi (Audouin, 1827). The type of the genus Rhipistoma. 

 leporis in Osborn, 1896, p. 261 = ^. leporis-palustris (Packard, 1869).
