2. fjloiiiorlcs lati re af ris var. major var. nov. 



This new variety is founded on a single female specimen which was 



obtained from a skin of wood pigeon, Columba pulchricollis ( Formosa, 



Jan. I, 191 3). While it closcly 



agrees in main characters with 



typical Goniotics lativentris, 



there seem to exist sufficient 



differences to entitle it to 



a varietal rank within that 



species. In comparison with 



typical specimens, the form 



in question is larger with 



considerably wider abdomen. 



Measurements: Length 1.65 



mm., width 0.81 mm. Head 



Gotiiodes lativentris var. major n. var. 0-44 mm. long, O.54 mm. wide. 



Head of male. X 100. 



Prothorax 0.16 mm. long, 0.29 

 mm. wide. Angle of temple more protruding than in male of typical form 

 and postero-laterally directed, instead of laterally.
