1. tasmani 



245 



Neumann's description was based on one unfed and two gorged $s, 

 collected by Verreaux, the ornithologist (1847), in Tasmania; one unfed 

 and one gorged ? from the Island of St Pierre (Ponafidin ?) (Paris 

 Mus.), and one gorged $, of unknown origin (Berlin Mus.). Hosts 

 probably birds. 



We have somewhat altered the description given by Neumann, 

 after having examined the types, one of which we figure.
