A New Species of /schnopsyllus (I. ashworthit). 15 
Legs.—Fore coxa, with a row of short bristles at edge, about 30 bristles 
on the external surface, one long bristle at the posterior edge 
below 4, and one shorter near the apex. Mid and Hind coxe, 
externally bare, save for one or two bristles in line with the edge 
near the apex. The usual fringing row of short bristles is present. 
Femur.—Besides the 2 sub-apical ventral bristles there are only one or 
two others which are placed laterally near the apex. 
Tibie.—The rows of external bristles are respectively: (a) Fore tibia, 
8; (0) Mid tibia, 11; (c) Hind tibia, 14 (this row is double from 
10th-14th bristle). 
MOopiFIED SEGMENTS, ? (see Fig.)—The 7th sternite, which bears 5 bristles 
on each side, has an undulated outline. The ventral angle is 
sharp, and, when the sternite is flattened out, there is a small 
but very distinct median point. The 7th tergite bears one 
antepygidial bristle accompanied by two small ones. The 8th 
sternite, which is very inconspicuous, has also an undulated outline. 
The corresponding tergite bears externally about 16 bristles, 
disposed as shown in the figure. About the middle of the posterior 
edge (but rising from the inner aspect) is a group of 3-4 short 
bristles. A portion of the 9th sternite projects, in the type, 
beyond the outline of the 8th tergite, and this has been shown in 
the figure. At the posterior ventral angle of the 9th tergite there 
is one long bristle, and indication of another (short) before the 
stylet, which is about four times as long as broad. It bears one 
or two bristles terminally. The 10th segment is _ bristly— 
particularly the sternite, which is deep. 
LENGTH.—9, 2°5 mm. 
TypE.—One 9, in the author’s collection, taken from Cape Horse-Shoe 
Bat (Rhinolophus augur, K. And.), 17: xi.: 11. Collected by Miss 
Fanny Ross, Pirie, King William’s Town, South Africa.
