Descriptions of New Mallophaga. 
529 
width as first segment of abdomen ; narrow brown lateral bands extending 
toward median line at front; similar incurved lines from lateral lines at 
middle. Legs large, of same color as head. 
Abdomen, sides swelling, seventh segment narrowing, eighth evenly 
rounded; segments of nearly equal length, transverse margins straight, 
first, second, and third with one bristle, others with two bristles, at pos- 
terior angle; last segment with fringe of small hairs on posterior border; 
lateral line heavy and brown, broken at sutures with clear diagonal line; 
eighth segment paler than the others. 
Described from specimen in Professor Herbert Osborn’s col- 
lection, taken from Pipilo maculatus megalonyx (Baird) at Ft. 
Collins, Colo., by C. F. Baker. This species shows a considerable 
resemblance to P. subangulatum Car. in the lines of the thorax 
extending inward from the lateral line, but it is smaller and the 
lines are narrower and shorter.
