Haemaphysalis kinneari n. sp. 
Male : Unknown. 
Female : Scutum : Sub-circular, slightly broader than long (08 x 09 
mm.), with numerous medium or rather large punctations, most 
numerous on the lateral fields; cervical grooves, beginning as shallow 
depressions, deepening into oval pits at some distance from the anterior 
border, then broad and shallow to within a short distance of the 
postero-lateral borders. 
Gapitulu.m: Basis twice as broad as long, rectangular, with blunt 
cornua; porose areas apparently nearly circular, but ill-defined and 
not easily distinguished; palps long and, in general facies, much like 
those of H. montgomeryi, Nuttall, 1912, having the lateral salience 
Fig. 6. H. kinneari ? , capitulum and scutum, ventral aspect of capitulum, anus, 
tarsus IV, spiracle and coxae. (N. Cunlift’e, del.) 
slight and very obtuse; instead, however, of being smoothly rounded as 
in that species, their dorsal surface presents corrugations, article 3 has 
an irregular posterior border, and the internal contour of article 2 
presents a strong rounded protuberance anteriorly; moreover, article 2 
bears no ventral retrograde spur, though one is present under article 3 ; 
dentition 4 | 4. 
Venter: Spiracle rather large, oval, with blunt dorsal process; anal 
groove very slightly ogival. 
Legs: Coxae with very slight armature of the normal type; 
tarsus IV rather long (especially the proximal pseud-articulation), 
somewhat tapering ; no trochantal spurs. 
A large species, recalling in general appearance H. montgomeryi, 
but easily distinguished from that species by the rounded scutum; the
