Nycterihiidae 
Mitzmain to the Quick Laboratory, Cambridge: the material is now at 
Cambridge and in Brit. Mus.^ 
The species has previously been recorded from Java, Sumatra, and 
Engano, without record of host; and (by Speiser, 1903) from the Malay 
Peninsula, from Pteropus vampyrus (Linn.). 
Subgenus Paracyclopodia, nov. 
Head very narrow, strongly compressed in the vertical plane, 
strongly arched dorsally between the eyes; its form is like that found 
in Nycteribia and other genera. Anterior coxae not much elongated. 
Hosts, so far as known, insectivorous and carnivorous (species of 
Vespertilionidae and Nycteridae). 
Type of subgenus: Cyclopodia {Paracyclopodia) roylei (Westwood); 
Scott, 1908, p, 368, 1914a, p. 224 (= Nycteribia chlamydophora Speiser, 
1903). 
I am not acquainted with any other species of the subgenus. In 
C. roylei the tibiae are somewhat flattened laterally, but not broadened, 
resembling in form those of C. {s. str.) ferrarii, referred to above. The 
eyes are dark-pigmented, and consist each of at least two facets, as in 
Cyclopodia s. str. The front coxae are not elongated like those of Cyclo¬ 
podia s. str., but are no more elongated than in some species of other 
genera. The hollow above the d claspers extends as far forward as the 
apex of the claspers; contrast Cyclopodia s. str. Halteres small and 
erect, with slender pedicel and knobbed apex. 
C. roylei appears to be not uncommon and widely distributed in 
India, Ceylon, and the Malay Peninsula. For a list of localities and 
hosts, see my paper (1914a); an additional record is: 1 d, 2 $, pale 
and small, from Scotophilus wroughtoni, at Helwak, near Satara, Western 
Ghats, India, 4, v, 1900: N. C. Rothschild don. 
Genus TRIPSELIA, gen. nov. 
(Tripselia, Speiser MS., in litt. 1908, from y^riXioi/, an armlet.) 
Tibiae 3-ringed, as in Cyclopodia. Eyes quite absent. Head narrow, 
laterally compressed. Anterior coxae not much elongated. 
Type of genus: Tripselia fryeri (Scott); described as Nycteribia 
{Acrocholidia) fryeri Scott, Trans. Linn. Soc. London, ser. 2, Zool., xvii, 
p. 163, 1914. 
* Since the above was printed I have received through Dr Bequaert 2 d and 1 5 of 
C. horsfieldi from another island of the Philippines: Porto Galera, Mindoro, on large 
fruit-bats.
