Peru, Iquitos ; 2 examples received, through the kindness of 
Dr. Martin Hering of Berlin, obtained by Baron von Dungern from 
the Braclypus. I entertain no doubt that this is the species 
described by Dr. Spuler, the discrepancies and deficiencies of his 
description being due to the very poor condition of his single 
specimen; I have therefore redescribed the species, remarkable for 
its extraordinary parasitical habits, and am much indebted to 
Dr. Hering for the opportunity.
