Orni thodoros turicata 

 Aguascalientes, Mexico 



Rec'd 8. III. 1910 



Rec'd from Dr. R. Findeisen 



Gathered in a corral where pigs 

 are kept, by a patient who claims 

 that an ugly infiltrated ulcer on 

 his hand was caused by their bites. 

 This is a common story. "Roofs are 

 often covered with earth from the 

 corral back of the house. If this 

 dirt contains the insect or its eggs, 

 sooner or later (in the instance of a 

 trustworthy neighbor, 7 years) the 

 room becomes uninhabitable, the tick 

 falling on the occupants while 

 asleep." Fumigation with sulphur 

 and steam are not able to kill the 

 pest. — they call it here "turicata" 

 The ticks were rec'd. alive but were 

 left until 22nd when all but 3 were 

 found dead - the rest pickled.
