Extract

During five months spent in Colombo (April–August 1944) a large number of small mammals and birds were examined for larval Trombiculinae.

From November 1944 to February 1945 similar investigations were carried out on the Maldive Islands. The number of species obtained included three species of the genus Gahrliepia Oudemans, 1912 (not included in this paper), Trombicula deliensis Walch, 1923, Trombicula acuscutellaris Walch, 1923, Neoschöngastia indica Hirst, 1915, Walchia turmalis Gater, 1932 (a second species of Walchia not included in this paper), a new species of Schöngastia herein named ‘maldiviensis’ n.sp., and Womersleyia minuta n.g., n.sp.
