Hypostome sharply pointed, dentition 2 | 2, with 11 stout teeth along 
the outer hie. Auriculae slightly marked, edged; ventral base narrows 
slightly behind, posterior margin almost straight; the first palpal article 
with backwardly-protruding flange. Venter: Vulva between coxae IV ; 
anal groove rounded in front, short, not attaining the posterior border 
and converging somewhat behind in slightly fed females, but divergent 
in more replete specimens. Spiracles transversely oval; macula near 
centre. Legs: Coxa I with sharp internal and short pointed external 
spur; coxae II-IY with short external spur; coxae II—III angular 
internally. Tarsi tapering; pad almost as long as the claws. 
Described from eight partly gorged $s, found on Sciurus erytliraceus 
intermedins, at Kobo (400 feet elevation), India, Abor Expedition, by 
S. W. Kemp, 29.lii.1912. (Indian Museum, Calcutta, No. 1247/17.) 
This species is allied to I. angustns, but differs therefrom as follows :

short and rounded in front of anus; coxa IV with external spur.

lateral margins; no lateral grooves; numerous fine punctations ob¬ 
scured by slight rugosities; lateral fields rugose; no hairs. Capitulum : 
Base having roughly the form of an equilateral triangle; dorsal ridge 
slightly concave, cornua slightly marked, sides converging anteriorly 
and forming a ridge running to the inner side of the palpal articulation ; 
porose areas very large, slightly depressed, their broadest parts separated 
by an interval equal to about half their median antero-posterior diameter. 
Palps long, somewhat pointed distally, articles 2-3 with concave external 
contour, article 2 bulging out basally before becoming constricted at 
the joint; article 1 small. (Ventral aspect.) Hypostome long aud
