rest not much shorter excepting propodosomatic hairs and hairs e

. Hairs e

2 (46 ju) not much shorter than hairs ej (53 jo.), originating far removed on body margins, while hairs e

1 more medially. Segment H with longer hairs, though setae h 3 slightly longer than the two nearly adjacent inner pairs. Ventral side (Fig. 16): Hair 2c of anterior sternal plate shorter but thicker than hairs 2a and 2b. Posterior sternal plate with longer hairs than in all preceding species: all reaching insertion of posteriorly subsequent hairs, indeed, hair 4b approaching posterior margin of body. Figs. 15-18: Pygmephorus tamiasi sp. n. 15: Dorsal side, 16: Ventral side, 17: Femur of leg II, 18: Leg IV. Legs: An essential difference in length between solenidia cfon tibiotarsus of leg I Hair dF on femur of leg II (Fig. 17) long, straight, with 7-8 lateral cilia. Hair ld"F considerably shorter and not thickened. Hair lv"T of leg IV (Fig. 18) well discernibly ciliate, all other incrassate hairs very thick. Material examined: Holotype: Indiana, Pulaski Co., J. P., 10 October, 1972, Tamias Btriatus. Leg. J. O. WHITAKER (8089). Remarks: On the basis of its hysterosomatic hairs, the new species stands nearest to pygmephorus similis Mahunka, 1969, but in this latter the hairs e\ and e

2 originate much nearer to each other, hair f

2 is longer, at least half as long as hair e

; the position of hairs 4a-4b is also different.
