L 'PEURUS ANTILOOUS N. (5, p. 223). 



Males, fema.les, and larvae in numbers fi'om Eupodoiis edwardsi 

 (Grny & HarcUv.). 



The specimens were identified from Piaget's descriptioti and 

 figure (3, p. 374, pi. xxx. fig. 3), with which, however, they did 

 not entirely agree. After examination of authentic L. antilogtis 

 the Society's specimens may emerge as a new form. 



Ltpeurus variabilis iST. (5, p. 219). 



Several specimens of both sexes from PJutsianihs scintillans 

 Gould. 



This is a difficult species, of which several varieties have been 

 described. All the material bndl}^ needs overhauling and dissec- 

 tion in conjunction with allied species. 



LiPBURUS BURNETTi Packard (24). (Text-fig. 27.) 



Two cJ (5 and 452 fi'oni Foh/plectron chinguis (Mlill.). 



The description whicli follows is incomplete, as the material 

 ■was insufiicient to settle the question of the preputial sac, which 

 is therefore omitted. 



Male Copulatory Apparatus. — Basal plate : Unusually broad, 

 ■with very naiTOW, lateial, marginal bands. Anterior margin very 

 convex. Faravieres: Quite short and inwa,rdly curved. Eialo- 

 meral plate : This is much longer than the parameres and at the 

 base almost as broad as the basal plate. Beliind, it sends forward 

 a narrower paraiUel -sided portion shaped something like a duck's 

 bill (see text-fig. 27). Note the peculiar sculpturing of the inner 

 surface of the paramere. 



LiPEURUS SECRETARIUS G. (5, p. 213). 



Many specimens fi'om Serpentavms serpentarius (Miller). 



This species belongs to a well-defined group of large handsome 

 Liipeurids infesting birds of prey and characterised by the four 

 or six curious, more or less circular incrassations on the front 

 margin of the head. They undoubtedly form the material for a 

 new generic grouping. 



LiPEURUS FORFICULATUS IST. (5, p. 238). 



A goodly number of specimens of both sexes and larvae from 

 the Red-backed Pelican [Pelecanus rafescens Gmel.). 



This species, readily distinguished from L. bi/asciattts P. by the 

 shape of the antennpe in the male, is found on P. onocrotalus 

 Gmel. The present specimens were paler in colour than is usual 

 in this species. 



Larvae. — Two stages, probably I. and II., have been figured by 

 Kellogg without any comment (25). The chsetotaxyof the abdo- 

 men in Stage I. (?) shows the common and perhaps primitive 

 arrangement of two hairs on each dorsum in the middle field. In
