AC KN OWLEDGEM ENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Warren T. Atyeo for his guidance during this study. His comments, suggestions and criticisms were most welcome and his arranging for the loans of many type specimens was of invaluable assistance. I am also indebted to those individuals who supplied material for the study. Type materials were provided by Dr. Marc Andre, Laboratoire d'Acarologie, La Varenne (Seine), France; Dr. Jean Gaud, Laboratoire de Parasitologie, Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), France; and Dr. Charles D. Radford, Torquay, Devon, England. Extensive alcoholic collections were made available by Dr. Thomas H. G. Aitken, Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory, Port of Spain, Trini­ dad, West Indies; Dr. H. Elliott McClure, Migratory Animal Patho­ logical Survey, A.P.O. San Francisco, California, 96346; and Dr. F. K. E. Zumpt, South African Institute for Medical Research, Johannesburg, South Africa. Thanks are extended to the museums where it has been possible to collect mites from bird skins: British Museum (Natural History), Chicago Museum of Natural History, University of Michigan and the U.S. National Museum. Special acknowledgement is given to Mr. C. W. Sabrosky of the U.S. National Museum who kindly gave opinions concerning the application of certain rules of zoological nomenclature. This study was financed through the National Science Founda­ tion, grant numbers G-14018, GB-1620 and GB-4934. The author wishes to thank this organization for its assistance.

In furtherance of this purpose their Majesties, the King and Queen of Norway, the Norwegian Geographical So- ciety, the Royal Geographical Society of London, and Koninklijk Nederlandsch Aardrijkskundig Genootschap, generously assisted me with grants, thus facilitating my efforts to raise the necessary funds.

  • Parasitic Helminths and Arthropods of Fulvous Whistling-Ducks (Dendrocygna Bicolor) in Southern Florida
    J. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 61(1), 1994, pp. 84-88 Parasitic Helminths and Arthropods of Fulvous Whistling-Ducks (Dendrocygna bicolor) in Southern Florida DONALD J. FORRESTER,' JOHN M. KINSELLA,' JAMES W. MERTiNS,2 ROGER D. PRICE,3 AND RICHARD E. TuRNBULL4 5 1 Department of Infectious Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32610, 2 U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Veterinary Services, National Veterinary Services Laboratories, P.O. Box 844, Ames, Iowa 50010, 1 Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108, and 4 Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, Okeechobee, Florida 34974 ABSTRACT: Thirty fulvous whistling-ducks (Dendrocygna bicolor) collected during 1984-1985 from the Ever- glades Agricultural Area of southern Florida were examined for parasites. Twenty-eight species were identified and included 8 trematodes, 6 cestodes, 1 nematode, 4 chewing lice, and 9 mites. All parasites except the 4 species of lice and 1 of the mites are new host records for fulvous whistling-ducks. None of the ducks were infected with blood parasites. Every duck was infected with at least 2 species of helminths (mean 4.2; range 2- 8 species). The most common helminths were the trematodes Echinostoma trivolvis and Typhlocoelum cucu- merinum and 2 undescribed cestodes of the genus Diorchis, which occurred in prevalences of 67, 63, 50, and 50%, respectively. Only 1 duck was free of parasitic arthropods; each of the other 29 ducks was infested with at least 3 species of arthropods (mean 5.3; range 3-9 species). The most common arthropods included an undescribed feather mite (Ingrassia sp.) and the chewing louse Holomenopon leucoxanthum, both of which occurred in 97% of the ducks.

The Received 21 May 2015 Brueelia-complex contains nearly one-tenth of all known louse species (Phthiraptera), and the genus Revised 15 September 2015 Brueelia has over 300 species. To date, revisions have been confounded by extreme morphological Accepted 18 September 2015 variation, convergent evolution, and periodic movement of lice between unrelated hosts. Here we use Available online 9 October 2015 Bayesian inference based on mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (EF-1a) gene fragments to analyze the phylogenetic relationships among 333 individuals within the Brueelia-complex. We show that the genus Keywords: Brueelia, as it is currently recognized, is paraphyletic. Many well-supported and morphologically unified Brueelia clades within our phylogenetic reconstruction of Brueelia were previously described as genera.

By W. J. RAINBOW, F.L.S., F.E.S., Entomologist. (Figs. 33-37). Mr. N athan Banks, the well-known American Arachnologist, has recently published a valuable, if brief," Treatise on Acarina, or Mites."! The work is rendered the more acceptable to the student of Acarology, from the fact that it gives not onlya key to the numerous families and genera, but also a sketch of the life­ histories of many species, some of which are of world-wide distribution. N otwithstandingthe fact that the Acarina "have always ,Lttracted," as Banks points out in his preface, "considerable interest, both from their minute size and because of the remark­ <Lble habits of many species," comparatively little is known about them systematically. Many species have been described from time to time, by a number of authors, but, to again quote Banks "few have really studied them." The litemture dealing with the subject is very scattered, and much of it unsatisfactory. The most reli"ble workers have been Michael in England, , whose masterly monographs of "British Oribatidae "2 and" British Tyroglyphidre":l have appeared at different times; a,nd among continental student,;, N eumann, whose ., Revision de la Famille des Ixodides"" is a valuable production, and must take its place as a standard work.
