California Ac. Sci., (4) VI, 6, p. 185.

for H. elephantis). Mjoberg, 1910, Ark. f. Zool., VI, No. 13, p. 181, fig. 93 (¢). 
Haematopinus proboscideus Megnin, 1897, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, III, p. 169, figs. A and B 
(2). 
Haematomyzus longirostris Piaget, 1869, Tijdschr. v. Entom., (2) IV, p. 254 (alternative name for 
H. elephantis). 
Haematomyzus paradoxus Lahille, (date?), ‘El Piojo y la Elefantita,’ p. 3, figs. 1-9 (9; off an 
elephant in the Zoélogical Gardens at Buenos Aires). 
Idolocoris elephantis F. Walker, 1871, Science-Gossip, VII, p. 132, fig. 67 ( @; described as a new 
species; off elephant in Ceylon). Richter, 1871, loc. cit., VII, p. 211. 
Phantasmocoris elephantis F. B. White, 1871, Science- Gossip, VII, p. 234 (substitute generic name 
for Idolocoris F. Walker, 1871, not of Douglas and Scott, 1865). 
Breiatan Coneo. — Api, off African elephant, Loxodonta africana (Blumen- 
bach) (J. Rodhain). 
This remarkable louse has also been found on the Asiatic elephant (Elephas 
indicus Linnaeus) in Ceylon and Sumatra. Fahrenholz (1910, Zoolog. Anzeiger, 
XXXV, p. 714) has proposed to distinguish the form occurring in Sumatra as 
var. sumatranus, differing only from the typical form (supposedly of the Afri- 
ean elephant) in the dimensions. Piaget in his original description did not 
indicate whether his specimens came from an African or an Asiatic elephant.

Prof. G. F. Ferris, who reports upon them elsewhere in this volume (p. 1023).
