A male and a female from a Phasianus versicolor, killed in Prov. 

 Iwashiro, April 19 14 ; one female from a domestic fowl in Tokyo ; and two 

 females from a specimen of Gcnnacus swinhoii obtained in Formosa. 



The specimens possess at each of the posterior angles of metathorax 

 a long hair, and adjoining this, a white space with four long hairs ; on 

 the abdomen they show two longitudinal submedian rows of weak hairs. 

 In these points, the specimens seem to approach Kellogg's Lipcurus intro- 

 ductus* ; but in all other respects they agree quite closely with Piaget's 

 description of Lipcurus variabilis.
