Mallophaga from Birds of Formosa. 
By 
Seinosuke Uchida. 
With Plate X and One Text-Figure. 
The descriptions of new, and determinations of old, species of Mallophaga, 
presented in this paper are based on the first collection that has ever been 
made of specimens of this ecto-parasitic insect found on Formosan birds. This 
small but interesting collection of Mallophaga is composed of specimens which 
were taken by Mr. NacAmicat KURODA, research scholar on ornithology, 
Tokyo Imperial University, during the spring of this year (1916), from the 
host specimens shot by himself. Mr. Kuropa was kind enough to give this 
collection ofparasites to the writer. The identification of the birds themselves, 
however, is his own. 
The collection includes 8 genera and 21 species out of 13 host species of 
birds. Of the above number, 7 seem to me to be new to science and are 
here described for the first time. In addition, one new variety is recognized. 
The list of host species with their parasites is given below:
