Extract

The material which forms the basis of this note consists of two species of Anoplura, namely, Neohaematopinus echinatus (Neumann) and Hoplopleura maniculata (Neumann), both from the common North Indian five-striped squirrel, Funambulus pennanti pennanti Wroughton, collected at Benares (United Provinces). Since Neumann's (1910) description of the two species from ‘Sciurus palmarum Gm.’ (vide infra) from Rajkote (Kathiawar) and Scotophilus wroughtoni(?) from Navapur (W. Khandesh Dist.), there appears to be no other Indian record.
