NEW MALLOPHA(JA. lOo 



Lipeurus docophoroides I'ia^et. (See Kellogg, New Mal- 



luphaga, II, Ib'JO, pi. Ixviii, fig. -S). 



Two female speeiineiis from a Plumed Partridge, 

 Oreoriyc /)idus pluniifenis (El Dorado eounty, Califor- 

 nia). These specimens differ distiiielly in the less 

 pointed front from L. doco/'huroides taken hy Kellogg 

 from CalUjicpla adifornica, and in this form a link 

 between docophoroides and disdinilis Piaget (see Kel- 

 logg, New Mallophaga, 11, 1890, p. 507, pi. Ixviii, lig. 

 7). We have given these specimens a varietal name. 



Var. cidifornicus Kellogg and Chapman, from the 

 Plumed Partridge, Ovtoi'tyx pictv.s plumiferus (El 

 Dorado county, California); clypeal front not so 

 pointed as in the species type, but approaching the 

 rounded front of dissimills P.: without signature; all 

 the autennal segments colored, at least slightly, instead 

 of only the last three, as in the species type; the pus- 

 tulated hairs of the body very long (longer than in the 

 typical species forms). 



Lipeurus perplexus n. sp. (Phite \ II, lig. ;">). 



Two females from a Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse, 

 Pcdiocates phasianellus coluinbianus (Pullman, Wash- 

 ington), and many females, differing slightly in shai>e 

 of metathorax and abdomen, from a Sooty Grouse, Ikn- 

 dnKjcqms ohscuriis fuligino>ius (Kings River Canon, Cal- 

 ifornia). A peculiar broad, robust form of the group 

 circiimfascudi, with rounded front, liesembling Piaget's 

 L. opimiis (Supplement, p. 78, j>l. viii, fig. 6) from 

 Taracus gujanteiis (Museum of Eeyden). Resembling 

 also in general outline and characters Osborn's yirmus 

 cordatiis, a specimen of which we have taken from 

 Limosa hamastica. Perhaps both of these forms should 

 be referred to the same genus. Piaget's L. opiinus
