86 The Non-Combed Eyed Siplionaptera 
Legs. The mid- and hindcoxae are long and narrow. The hind- 
femur bears a row of about 8 bristles on the inner side, there being on 
the outer side in the 1 or 2 bristles, and in the $ a row of about 5, 
besides 3 or 4 present in both sexes and more dorsal in position. The 
hindtibia bears on the outside two lateral rows of bristles, one row being 
placed near the dorsal bristles and the other near the ventral (= anterior) 
edge, this edge bearing some additional bristles. The first and second 
midtarsal segments are equal in length, or the first is but a very little 
longer than the second. The first, second and third hindtarsal segments 
are rather strongly dilated towards the apex, the fourth segment being 
more than twice as long as it is broad. The longest apical bristle of the 
second segment does not quite reach to the apex of the fourth segment. 
The third pair of lateral bristles of the fifth segment (PL IV, fig. 5) are 
situated at the lateral edge of the segment like the other lateral bristles. 
There is only one small hair on the ventral surface of this segment. 
Modified segments. J 1 . The apex of the large eighth sternite is 
rounded, the segment bearing a postmedian row of bristles and a number 
of smaller bristles further basad. The clasper (PI. VII, fig. 3, Cl) is large, 
quadrangular, the upper apical corner being produced, while the ventral 
apical corner is completely rounded off. There is a regular row of 
bristles along the apical edge, the dorsal edge also bearing bristles. 
The finger (F) is slender, subcylindrical, and slightly acuminate. The 
manubrium (M) also is slender, widening apically, and forming a small 
hook. The ventral portion of the ninth sternite (ix. st.) is canoe-shaped, 
the apex bearing about 10 bristles.— $. The apical edge of the sixth 
sternite is straight. The seventh sternite bears a deep narrow sinus, the 
lobe above this sinus being small and the one below it large. On the 
eighth tergite there are 6 or more small bristles above the stigma, a row 
of 4 or 5 bristles on the side, and several small bristles proximally to 
this row, as well as between this row and the ventral margin. Along 
the apical edge of the eighth tergite there are about 12 bristles on the 
outside and more than 12 on the inside. The stylet is long, being 
subcylindrical.

This species was discovered on the Island of St Paul, where it was 
found on Eudyptes chrysolophus Reichenow. 
We have 2 and 2 $ $ taken off Endyptula minor on Bird 
Island, near Perth, in West Australia (J. Burton Cleland). 
These specimens do not agree exactly with Enderlein’s figures, and 
may be a closely allied new species. Some of the figures, however, are
