| 1. | Becker & Kunz (1981) transfer Oniscopsis to family Tetragonicipitidae; as a consequence —
| (a) | delete codons to O. robinsoni (p. 124) and O. pauliani (p. 125) in KGG 1, |
| (b) | character 5 in KGG 1 is now redundant. |
|
| 2. | Kunz (1981) describes several new taxa —
| (a) |
Diarthrodella secunda pacifica to species codon in KGG 1 (p. 124), |
| (b) |
Paramesochra acutata hawaiiensis requires a new codon in KGG 100 (p. 126) — 4/4:4:2/0:0:0/1:3/0:3, |
| (c) |
Kliopsyllus insularis requires a new codon in KGG 200 (p. 127) — 4:4:2/1:1:1/2:3/1:4, |
| (d) |
Kliopsyllus debilis to codon for K. enalius in KGG 200 (p. 127), |
| (e) |
Kliopsyllus californicus to codon for Kliopsyllusc) in KGG 200 (p. 127), |
| (f) |
Kliopsyllus spiniger ornatus to species codon in KGG 200 (p. 127). |
|
| 3. | Kunz (1981) revises the family. As a consequence changes to KGG 1 (p. 124) are necessary to accommodate —
| (a) | the reduction of Paraleptopsyllus to a subgenus of Leptopsyllus, and Intermedop-syllus to a subgenus of Scottopsyllus, |
| (b) | the placement of Kliopsyllus runtzi, K. abyssalis and K. gigas in Wellsopsyllus, a new subgenus of Scottopsyllus,
|
| (c) | Kunz's formal proposal that Idyanthopsis psammophila be transferred to Diarthrodella, |
| (d) | the transfer of Tisbisoma to this family; add a new codon — 2-3:3:3:3/3/5/8/nf. |
|
| 4. |
Paramesochra borealis Geddes, 1981a requires a new codon in KGG 100 (p. 126) — 4/4:4:2/0:1:1/2:3/2:4. |
| 5. | Amend the codons in KGG 100 (p. 126) for these species to read —
4/4:4:2/0:0:1/2:4/0:2 Paramesochra longicaudata
4/4:4:2/0:0:1/2:3/0:3 P. helgolandica
4/4:3:2/0:0:0/1:3/0:3 P. acutata s.str.
|
| 6. | Amend the codon in KGG 300 (p. 129) for Apodopsyllus camptus to read — 1/5/0:4/0:4. On further examination it is clear to me that the "inner seta" of the P.5 basendopod is only a remnant of the inner lobe. |
