A new genus and species of Mallophaga

Elsewhere (paper in press) the author has shown that the majority of species originally described under Goniodes, although somewhat diverse in form, are fundamentally similar and cannot be separated generically. However, there are certain species originally placed in Goniodes which are generically distinct and should be separated. Amoung these is a group of species, forming a new genus described below, which is distinguished in both sexes by the small size of the first segment and the characters of the terminal segments of the abdomen ad in the male by the form of the clavi.
