Kitsema, Tijdschr. Ent. (2) v. pp. 186, 186, makes a few remarks on 
Westwood’s new order Achreioptera, and on the species Platypsyllus castoris. 
He defends his own priority of the description in Pet. Nouv. Sept. 16, 1809, 
and considers the insect only sufficiently distinct from the Pulicidm to form a 
family Platypsyllid<B, of equal value to Pulicid(^, both belonging to the sub- 
order Suctw'ia = Aphaniptera.

pedition to Mexico was troubled by this pest. 
Roulin, C. R. Ixx. pp. 792-796, publishes an additional note on the same 
insect, mentioning a parallel case in which a military expedition was troubled 
in South America.
