Extract

A new genus is here described for the reception of three species of Mallophaga, belonging to the family Philopteridae, which have up to the present been listed under two separate genera, representing two subfamilies. The hosts of the three species under consideration all belong to the Charadriformes. For the present, three species only are included in this new genus, but it is probable that certain other already described species may ultimately have to be transferred to it.
