Ne\i- mann reports it from Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, and in the United States from California, Texas, and Tennessee, the latter based upon the tick before mentioned as collected at Mempliis. He mentions 2 males and 1 female as being taken on a coleopteron, Cercus campestris, at Buenos Aires, Argen- tina. Laliille reports it from Argentine Re- l^ublic, where the fa- vorite host is the dog. He mentions the fact that it is used by the Indians as a leech in certain cases of inflammation. The male is especially large, much more so and more elongate than either A. cajennense or A. ameri- canum. Mr. Mitchell reports that- while he has observed the sexes in close proximity on the animals he has as yet to find them in coitu. He has freqiienth" noticed them to copu- late after being removed from the animal. However, in Argentina, Lahille states that several males are usually found attached in the immediate vicinity of each female. Mr. Mitchell states that on one oc- casion he found 7 females clustered f on a cow between the ear and the horn with no male near. In another case he found a cluster of 5 females on the neck of a dog with no male in the immediate vicinitv. He has also seen instances where as.
