have had species placed to their credit; page 390, Anempheres had a 
species assigned to it early last year (1911), Idechthis is misspelled; 
page 40, Asinamora is misspelled; page 42, Campoletis had a species 
assigned to it early last year (1911), Ameloctonus had a species as- 
signed to it by Ashmead in the 1900 edition of the New Jersey List of 
Insects; page 55, Aperileptus is misspelled; page 65, Aniseres pallipes 
is misspelled; page 68, the type of Helictes Haliday is the same as that 
of Myriarthrus Foerster, these genera are therefore synonymous, but 
not the same as Megastylus Schiodte, Helictes being the older genus 
replaces Myriarthrus Foerster; page 70, Nesomesochorini and Ne- 
somesochorus are misspelled; Cidaphus Foerster and Plesiophthalmus 
Foerster are isogenotypic, therefore Cidaphus replaces Plesiophthalmus 
Foerster which is preoccupied, Ashmead’s ePlesiophthalmus is very 
likely not congeneric with Cidaphus Foerster; page 76, Parabates 
(Foerster) Szepligeti is preoccupied by Parabates (Foerster) Dalla 
Torre and should be replaced by Opheltoideus Ashmead; page 84, 
Ceratogastra is misspelled; page 85, Xenoschesis and Polycinetus are 
misspelled. 
The author is to be congratulated upon having finished the Ophion- 
ine and it is to be hoped that in a supplementary part he will recon- 
cile the Foerster collections in this subfamily at least with his work as 
it now stands.—H. L. VrerEck, U. S. National Museum, Washington,

Das TIERREICH, 26 Lieferung—IxopmpAE, 169 pp., I9gtI, by L. G. Neu- 
mann. Dr. Neumann’s long-deferred part on the ticks has just been 
issued. It was prepared in 1907 and does not contain species published 
since the early part of 1908. Yet it will be of the greatest value to 
the systematist as a summary of the author’s well-known “Revision 
de la famille des Ixodides,” and the “Notes.” The family is divided 
into two sub-families, Ixodine and Speleorhynchide, the latter for a 
peculiar mite which is probably more related to Gamaside. The Ixo- 
dinz is divided into two sections, Ixodini and Argatini, the latter the 
Argaside of many writers. The genera of Ixodini are arranged in 
three tribes; Ixodaria (the same as my Ixodini), the Rhipicephalaria 
(the same as my Rhipicephalini, plus the exotic genus Hyalomma), and 
the Amblyommataria, which includes Amblyomma, Haemaphysalis and 
Dermacentor. The author correctly places Boophilus as a synonym of 
Margaropus, and Rhipicentor as a Rhipicephalus, widely separated from 
Dermacentor. Aponomma is retained as a valid genus. Ceratixodes 
and Eschatocephalus are put as subgenera of Jxodes. Our chicken tick, 
A gas muitiatus, is put as a sub-species of A. persicus. Altogether 207 
species and 40 sub-species are held as valid. In the back is a useful 
host-list—N. Banxs, East Falls Church, Virginia.
