"The order of arrangement of families and genera here is that adopted by L. Harrison in his 

 article entitled "The Genera and Species of Mallophaga," in Parasitology, vol. 9, p. 1-156, 1916. 

 The species are arranged alphabetically in each genus. The list is based upon careful collecting 

 by Mr. Wilson (chiefly at Hebron and at Ithaca), upon material already in the Cornell collection, 

 and upon such published records as seemed trustworthy.
