Mites Injuriotts to Domestic Animals. 89 There are a number of species of Lipomjssus, most of them being parasitic on bats and rodents, a few on reptiles and on birds. Two species {L. bursa and L. sylviamm) are parasitic on the domestic hen. Another species {L. hacoti, Hirst, fig. 65), is parasitic on rats, and is widely distributed in the warmer parts of the world, some- times attacking man. Liponyssiis bursa, Berlese, 1888.

(Figs. 66, 67 a, 68 a, 69 a and 70.) The tropical fowl mite apparently replaces Dermanyssus gallinae in the warmer regions of the world. It is very widely distributed. Sternostomum rhynolethruni (p. 92).—A mite living in the nasal cavities of geese. Female from above. (After Berlese.) in Africa, also occurring in Mauritius, the Comoro Islands, China, India, Texas, ti^e Bahamas, Colombia, Buenos Aires, and in Australia. Sometimes it occurs in very large numbers on nesting hens. Several cases of this fowl mite attacking man have been recorded. L. bursa has been found on the common sparrow, and, like L. sylviarum, possibly it is conveyed from one locality to another by this host. When the name Dermanyssus gallinae is met with in reports by entomologists dealing with the parasites of the domestic fowl in tropical countries, it is probable that L. bursa.
