 (.03 mm.), width .50 mm. {A\ mm.) Distinctly larger 

 than the types of the species; third segment of antenna 

 of male with an appendage; metathorax with six long 

 hairs, five together and one alone. I figure the female 

 as Piaget has figured the male of the species type. 



Lipeurus protervus n. sp. (Plate til, fig. 4). 



Many specimens from a Willow Ptarmigan, Lagopus 

 lagopus (Kodiak Island, North Pacific Ocean). On this 

 Ptarmigan were some specimens of Goniodes niammilla- 

 tus Rudow, found by me on the California Partridge, 

 CaUijtepla callfornica (New Mallophaga, Jl, 1896, p. 

 509, pi. Ixix fig. 2), but this Lipeiiru.^, while of similar 

 general character to Lipeurus docophoroidc^ Piaget taken 

 by me from CaUipepla californica (New Mallophaga, II, 

 1896, p. 508, pi. Ixviii, fig. 8), is distinctly of another 

 species. The most readily noticeable ditference is in 

 the character of the lateral abdominal blotches, those 

 of docophoroidcs leaving a comparatively wide, un- 

 blotched median region, while those of the new species 

 leave but a narrow, median, unblotched line. The 

 blotches of the first segment meet in the new species; 

 they do not, even nearly, in docopltoroides. 



Description of female. Body, length 2 mm., width 

 .72 mm.; short and broad, and sub-Docophoroid in 

 form; whitish ground color with nearly completely col- 

 ored head and thorax, and abdomen with large, lateral, 

 quadrangular blotches. 



Head, length .5 mm., width .5 mm.: front rounded,
