148 Vv. L. KELLOGG AND J. H. PAINE—ANOPLURA AND 
Nirmus vulgatus, Kellogg. 
Numerous specimens from the starling and one from an owl, Malachal, Egyptian 
Sudan (Hl. H. King). This is the first record of this American species, which is 
found widely distributed on American passerine birds, from a host in the Old 
World. 
Coniocotes gigas, Taschenberg. 
Two males and a female from a guinea fowl (Numida mitrata ?), Azzar, near 
Bor, Egyptian Sudan (//, //. King). 
Goniocotes aegypticus, sp. n. (PI. V, figs. 2, 2a). 
One female from a blue pigeon, Malachal, Egyptian Sudan (H. H. King). 
Resembles Piaget’s G. major, but differs in the hairs of the abdomen, last segment 
of the abdomen in the female, &e. it also resembles Taschenberg’s G. procerus, 
but differs from it in about the same particulars and also in the shape of the 
abdomen, which is broader than in G. procerus. 
FrmMaLE.—Length, 2°3 mm.; width, 1°8 mm.; light yellowish brown, with 
dark red-brown markings. Head: length, *6 mm.; width, ‘8 mm.; broad, 
conical, front rounded, with five short prickles on either side. Marginal frontal 
band yellowish brown, a little darker than ground-colour of head, turning inward 
just before the antenne and ending in a red-brown blotch. Antenne short 
length of segments diminishing towards the end; a hair on the dorsal surface 
near the base of the antenne. Eye with a short prickle. A marginal band 
extending around the temples and occiput, with colour little different from the 
ground-colour of head, except around the eye, where there is a red-brown blotch, 
and on the sinuous occiput which is also red-brown. Angles of temples acute, 
protruding, with two long hairs and one shorter one arising from a large curious 
projecting pustule (Pl. V, fig. 2a); also a minute prickle between the two long 
hairs. Thorax: length, *5 mm.; width, ‘7 mm. ; with red-brown marginal bands. 
Prothorax trapezoidal ; sides straight, diverging ; a long hair in the posterior 
angles ; posterior margin straight. Metathorax with lateral margins convex ; 
two long hairs set close together arising from the central lateral angle. Posterior 
margin angled on abdomen, angle rounded, obtuse. A hair on each side of 
posterior marginal angle and another on the surface about midway between the 
meson and the lateral margin. The coxal bands distinct. Abdomen elliptical ; 
last segment divided. Long hairs in the posterior lateral angles and two hairs 
on each side of all the segments, except the last, arising midway between the 
meson and lateral margins ; median hairs apparently lacking on all but sixth and 
seventh segments. 
Akidoproctus stenopygus, Nitzsch (PI. V, figs. 6, 6a, 60). 
Three female specimens of this pale form from the spurwing goose (Plectrop- 
terus gambensis), Khor Felos, Egyptian Sudan (H. 7. King). We figure this 
form owing to the fact that the only female heretofore known was Restless 
Taschenberg is of the opinion that this species is identical with A. maximus,
