size, while in acuteventris those on pleurites V are the larger; 
abdominal segment VII is practically the same, but the genital 
armature is different, the paramers being of quite a distinct shape, 
although the endomeral and basal plates are fairly close (see figures). 
Females are almost indistinguishable; the measurements, while 
mostly a little greater, are no safe criterion, although the mesothorax 
and metathorax are porportionately wider in boucardi.

fig. 4, 1936. (Host: Crypturellus atrocapillus=C. garleppi affinis.) (On fig. 
16, €, is Shown the male scent gland of H. t. femininus Carriker.) 
This race of temporalis was described from three males, the female 
being unknown. Later additional specimens were secured from the 
type host, collected at Todos Santos, Rio Chaparé, Bolivia, which 
included four. males and three females. These males are like the 
type series in all respects, except for the tips of the paramers, which, 
instead of being pointed and slender, seem to be blunt and bent 
inward. However, they have the appearance of being abnormal, 
either deformed or injured, although al/ have the genitalia within 
the abdomen. 
The female (hitherto unknown) is extremely close to that of 
the nominate form, so close, in fact, that it is with difficulty that 
they can be separated. The last abdominal segment is more acumi- 
nate apically and more rounded anteriorly, while the hairs on 
posterior margin are finer and perhaps shorter.

Remarks.—The measurements of these two females agree remark- 
ably well; in fact they are closer than is sometimes found between in- 
dividuals of the same species, from the same individual host.
