The thorax is an- gular with a black margin and the ab- domen is pale with transverse bands of dark color. The species probably ha-; a distri- bution equal to that of the turkey itself, and with the other species com- mon to this fowl render it pretty.

This large and common species aijpears to have been first recorded by Redi, who figured it under the name of Pulex pavonis. Since that time it has engaged the attention of Linnaeus, Frisch, Olfers, Fabricius, Stephens, Schrank, Nitzsch, Bur- meister, Stewart, Panzer, Denny, Giebel, Piaget, and numerous other writers, who have described, figured, and discussed it under one name or another, from which we would infer that it must have been one of the most common and frequently met with of any of the parasites of our domesticated fowls. It is a large species, 3 to 4 millimetres in length, of a bright reddish yellow color, with a large head the hind angles of which are acute and prominent, corms. (After Deiany.) The first joint of the antenna in the male is large and bears a prominent tooth. The abdomen is broad, light yellow, with prominent transverse lateral bands extending nearly to the middle Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
