Maskell, accompanied by a o wliick I have determined as belonging to 
the same species. Both specimens are deposited in Canterbury Museum. 
Our description of I. neumanni, above referred to, applies to Maskell’s 
co-type ? except that trochanter 4 shows a spur and that the spur on 
trochanter 1 is distinct. These spurs were omitted in our Fig. 213, 
which could, except for this detail, be taken for a portrait of the co-type. 
The latter is a partly gorged specimen whose scutum measures 1-4 x 1-05 
mm. The accompanying o measures 0-6 x 0-6 mm. 
I therefore re-instate Maskell’s species name, synonyms of which are: 
I. praecoxalis Neumann 1899, p. 121; 1902, p. 119; 1904, p. 451; 
1911, p. 21. 
I. intermedins Neumann 1899, p. 132; 1904, p. 451; 1911, p. 21. 
I. eudyptidis eudyptidis (Maskell) Neumann, 1911, p. 21. 
I. neumanni Nuttall and Warburton, 1911, pp. 217-220, Figs. 213, 
214. 
4. Species Redescribed from Better Specimens than 
the Types, etc. 
Ixodes tasmani Neumann 1899. 
Fig. 20. 
The description of this species (?) given in Ticks, Part ii. (pp. 244, 
245, Figs. 239, 240), was based on that of Neumann (1899, pp. 144, 145, 
Fig. 20) with slight modifications made after I had examined the type 
in the Paris Museum. Neumann’s figure, reprinted from the original 
block, and one I drew from the type served to illustrate our description. 
The type female I drew was an old pinned, very brittle and shrivelled 
specimen collected by Verreau in Tasmania in the year 1847. 
Having recently had occasion to determine two well-preserved ($) 
specimens from Australia, it appears advisable to redescribe the species 
from them, especially as our earlier description of the capitulum is 
misleading. Moreover, the hosts of this interesting and rare species 
have not as yet been recorded. 
As the d O and larva have hitherto been unknown, I venture to 
give a provisional description of their salient features as far as they can 
be made out from specimens mounted in balsam by T. H. Johnston. 
The slides, which were lent to me for examination by Mr L. Harrison, 
include 1 d 5 $ 3 o and 1 Z_. It is hoped that good specimens will be 
available for adequate description and illustration in the future.
