Family Paramesochridae

Family Paramesochridae

1.KGG 1 (p. 124; see Wells, 1983)
(a)Add these new codons
3:3:3:3/3/3/5 Diarthrodella lancifera Kunz, 1983
2:3:3:3/3/3/6 D. galapagoensis Mielke, 1984b
2:2:3:3/3/2/7 D. chilensis Mielke, 1985
2:1:1:2/2/0/4 Scottopsyllus langi Mielke, 1984b
page 7
(b) Diarthrodella convexa Kunz, 1983 and D. neotropica Mielke, 1984b to codon for D. secunda.
(c) D. parorbiculata pacifica Mielke, 1984b to species codon.
(d) Rossopsyllus kerguelensis quellonensis Mielke, 1985 to species codon.
(d)Add Leptopsyllus punctatus and L. platyspinosus, new species by Mielke (1984b), to footnote e (p. 125).
(e)Kunz (1983) gives a key to Diarthrodella.
2.KGG 100 (p. 126)
(a) Paramesochra unaspina Mielke, 1984b requires a new codon — 4/4:4:2/0:0:0/2:3/0:3
(b) P. kunzi Mielke, 1984a to codon for P. dubia.
(c) P. helgolandica galapagoensis Mielke, 1984b to species codon.
3.KGG 200 (p. 127)
(a)Add these new codons
4:4:2/1:1:1/1:3/0:4 Kliopsyllus atlanticus Kunz, 1983
4:4:2/1:1:1/?/0:4 K. miguelensis Kunz, 1983
4:4:3/1:1:1/1:3/0:3 K. panamensis Mielke, 1984a
(b) Kliopsyllus constrictus pacificus Mielke, 1984a to species codon (p. 127).
(c)Add Kliopsyllus regulexstans and K. similis, new species by Mielke (1984b), to footnote b (p. 128).
(d)Add Kliopsyllus unguiseta Mielke, 1984b to footnote c (p. 128).
4.Mielke (1984a, b) describes Apodopsyllus panamensis, A. aberrans and A. arcuatus. These and other recent additions to this genus make interpretation of characters 3 and 4 of KGG 300 (p. 129) rather difficult. Replace KGG 300 with this new version.

KGG 300 - characters

1.P.1 Exp.
n = number of segments
2.P.1 Exp., distal (or only) segment
n = number of setae and/or spines
3.P.5♀
n = total number of setae and/or spines
4.P.5♂
n = total number of setae and/or spines
