STUDIES IN NEOTROPICAL MALLOPHAGA—CARRIKER 159 
Female: Decidedly larger than temporalis in all measurements; 
abdominal segment VII is similar to that of temporalis, but slightly 
longer, while the two oval, genital plates on each side in segment VI 
are larger. The chaetotaxy and markings of the pleurites are the 
same, and there seem to be no other distinguishing characters. 
The measurements of my specimens do not agree with those given by 
Miss Clay.
