Legs. Coxae normal; tarsi shurt, gibbous. 
Described from a single specimen in the India Museum, Calcutta 
(no. taken from Erinaceiis collaris in Sind. 
If this specimen is normal and mature, as would seem to be indicated 
by the highly chitinised scutum and the presence of porose areas, it is 
undoubtedly a new species. The vulva, however, is not well developed, 
and this gives rise to the suspicion that the capitulum also may be 
stunted. R. sanguineus generally occurs on this host, but the nature of 
the scutum renders it unlikely that this is an abnormally developed 
example of that species.

HAEMAPHYSALIS LONGIPALPIS, n. sp. 
(Figs. 4 and 5.) 
Male. 2 X 1'3 mm. (capitulum excluded), glossy, with numerous 
very small punctations, many of them confluent. Cervical grooves 
deep to receive the cornua, barely visible behind them ; lateral grooves 
rather short and faint, including one festoon. Festoons long, with well- 
marked curved intervals. 
Capitulum. Base sub-rectangular with rounded sides, broader 
than long, with cornua of almost equal length. Palps very long, three 
times as long as broad ; article 2 very slightly protuberant laterally, 
unarmed, article 3 with a long, strong retrograde spine dorsally and 
ventrally; hypostome small, with numerous very small sharp teeth, 
apparently 6 j 6, considerably shorter than the palps.
