$. Seventh sternite sinuate. Anal segment very long, as it is also 
in the </. Stylet cylindrical, about twice as long as it is broad. 
Most nearly related to Hystrichopsyllci Tasch. (1880) and Macro- 
psylla Rothsch. (1905). The female possibly has two receptacula seminis 
as in the genera mentioned. The two ? specimens, however, contained 
in the British Museum are not well enough preserved for deciding the 
question. 
The genus so far contains only one species. 
(1) Goniopsyllus kerguelensis Tascli. (1880). 
(PI. IV, fig. 2; VII, fig. 11.) 
Palex spec. Eaton (1875, p. 2, “A Pulex is parasitic on Haladroma , and one (possibly 
the same) on Diomedea fuliginosa ”). 
Pulex kerguelensis Taschenberg (1880a, p. 67, n. 7, t. 2, fig. 12, ?, Kerguelen); id. 
(1880 a, p. 123, host: Pelecanoides urinatrix ); id. (1880 b, p. 169); Baker (1895, 
p. 65); Rothschild (1895, p. 66, Antipodes). 
Palex vergnelensis Wagner (1898, p. 576). 
The abdominal tergites are emarginate dorsally. 
There are in the British Museum one and two ? $ of the original 
four specimens obtained by the Rev. A. E. Eaton off Pelecanoides 
urinatrix on Kerguelen Island during the Transit-of-Venus Expedi¬ 
tion 1 . The flea off Diomedea mentioned by Eaton, l.c., is apparently 
not contained in the British Museum’s collection. 
We have one from Antipodes Island, off Platycercus unicolor , 
collected by Mr M. Dannefaerd. 
9. Genus: Lycopsylla Rothsch. (1904). 
Lycopsylla Rothschild (1904 a, p. 602, name-type: L. novus ); Baker (1905, p. 127, a 
new family proposed for its reception). 
Head. Frons with a tooth-like tubercle about half-way between 
the oral angle and the occiput. The lower oral angle produced down¬ 
wards into a slightly curved triangular lobe. Genal process jiointed, 
closing the antennal groove. An internal incrassation from the base of 
the antennal groove upwards. Club of antenna similar to that of 
Parapsyllus. Labial palpus consisting of four segments, segmentation 
well marked all round, tip of last segment symmetrical, with 3 hairs on 
each side, as in Rhopalopsyllus and Goniopsyllus. 
1 An account of this Expedition is published in Philos. Trans. Pioy. Soc., vol. ci.xvm. 
(1879) (extra volume), the four examples of this flea being recorded on p. 118.
