Siphonaptera and Clinocoriäae.

By the Hon. N. Charles Rothschild, M. A., London.
Siphonaptera,
No fleas have as yet been recorded from the island of Pormosa.
The present collection must be regarded as a preliminary attempt
on the part of Mr. H. Sauter. The number of species existing on
Pormosa is undoubtedly very much larger, Bats, shrews, squirrels,
mice and other mammals, as well as birds will yield a rieh harvest
of Siphonaptera if systematically collected and carefuliy examined for
Bctoparasites, The Siphonaptera of the Oriental Region ave very
little known. A thorough search for them on Pormosa would furnish
most valuable material.
Xenopsylla cheopis Roths.
(1903).
A very long series of both
sexes from nests of rats (Epimys
deoumanus). at Anping, May and
June 1911.
Pulex irritans L. (1758).
A few speeimens on man at
Anping in May and June 1911.
Ctenocephalus felis Bouche
(1835).
A series of both sexes ob-
tained at Kankau in July 1909
(no host being given), at Taihorin
in June 1911 off a Goat, and at
Anping in July 1911 off man. Cemtophyllus sauterin, sp. ? VII. Sternit.
Ceratophyllus sauteri nov. spec.
Mr. H. S a u t e r obtained a single $ Ceraiopyllus. The speeimen
is very close to C. crispus Jord. et. Roths. (1911), from China, but
jjg Supplementa Entomologica No. III, 1914.

differs in the .apex of the seventh abdominal sternite heilig; rounded

and bearing ventrally a narrow lobe (Fig. l). There are apparently
no otbor differences in this sex. The male may be ospecfced to
differ considerably from that of crispus.
One $ from Taihorin, July 1911, off Mungos urva Hodgs.

Clinocoridae (Hem.).
Mr. H. Sauter sent fivo specimens of bed-bugs, which belong
tu two species of Clinocoris ( = Cimex auet), one of them presumably
boing new to science. Besides the Buropean bed-bug (0. lectularius),
whieh has become cosmopolitan, only two specios of Clinocoris are
known from the East: C. peristerae Roths, (1912) closely allied to
("•'. lectularius and colitmbarius, and Ü. hemiptera P. (1801).
We may except the genera Loxaspis and Gacodmus to be
represented on Pormosa. The species of Gacodmus are parasitic on
bats and aro ölten found in numbers in houses ia which bats aro
in the habit of roosting.
Clinocoris hemiptera P. (1801).
One S and two $$, Anping, 22. June 1911.
Tlio elytra and abdominal tergites are densely punetured. The
lateral margins of tho pronotum are not curved upwards.
Clinocoris nov, spec.V
Two 95, from the same place and date, differ from C. hemiptera
in the pronotum having a distinet narrow explanate margin and in
the elytra and abdominal tergites being sparsely punetured. The
specimens are not in very good condition, and it is advisaMe to
await further material (particulary of the male sex) before describing
the species.

Berichtigung.
In den Supplementa Entomologica SFr. 2, vom 1. Juni 1913, p. 117 habe
ich in H. Sauter'ä Formosa-Ausbeute: Plecoptera II eine neue Gattung
beschrieben unter dem Kamen Formosina. Ich erfahre aber, daß dieser
Name schon vergeben ist und zwar an eine Ohloropidengattung (Diptera)>
die Herr Th. Becker in seiner Abhandlung Chloropidae, eine monographische
Studie, III. Teil: Die indo-australische Region (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hungar. IX,
1!(11, p, 78) beschrieben hat. Es muß also die Plecoptere einen anderen
Namen bekommen, und ich schlage Formosita vor. Fr. Klapälek.
