Campbell Hardy (Forest Life in Acadie, 1869) is identical with this form. It seems more probable, however, that Hardy's form is Dermacentor variegatus^ and there are some doubts in our minds regarding the correctness of the determination in the Utah case. Curtice (1891) proposed Ixodes horns as type of a new genus, BoojMlus. It was also Curtice who suggested that this species was possibly identical with Ixodes ammlatus and Hcemaphysails rosea. Curtice's genus BoopJdlus has been generally accepted by American authors, but was rejected by Neumann (1897), who placed B. homs in Mhipicephcdus a^ B. annulatxis. Neumann unites under this species the following forms: Ixodes annulatus Say, 1821; Hmiiaj^hysalis rosea, Koch, 1841; Ixodes lovis Riley, 1869; ''I DugesiV of Megnin, .1880; Hcemaphysalis microtia Canestrini, 1887; Boophilus horns (Riley); Rli. calcaratus (Birula), 1895; Bh. annulatus cau- datus. Fuller (1899) compared the North American, the Austra- lian, and the South African forms and considered that they represented distinct species (see below, p. 130). He follows Neumann by not adopting Boophihis. Fig. 151.—Dia- gram of the labium of Boojihilus an- nulatus and B. australiti. After Fuller, 1899, p. 391, fie.
