Extract

In a previous paper (Sinha, 1954), dealing with a collection of larval trombiculids from Manipur, India, four new species, a new subgenus (Plumosicola), and a new genus (Mehracula) were described. The larvae concerned had been mounted in batches, each slide containing considerable numbers. At the request of Dr J. R. Audy, Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, the type material was lent to him in 1956 through the kind co-operation of Dr A. P. Kapur, in charge of the Entomology Section, Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta, in whose care the types had been deposited, and who gave permission for the specimens to be remounted individually in PVA-mountant.
