    PARASITES OF MAN. ARACHNID A. Amongst the trachearian section of this great class of artliropodous invertebrates there are numerous parasitic species which attack man and animals. They are more familiarly known as mites (Acarides), ticks [Ixodidce], and Pentastomes {Pen- tastomidce). 61. Pentastoma taeniodes, Rudolphi. In the sexually incomplete state this entozoon infests the liver of man, being commonly spoken of as Pentastoma denticulatum. The mature form resides in the nasal chambers of the dog and other animals. 62. Pentastoma constrictum, Von Siebold. Like the former species, this entozoon is found in an immature state in the human liver. It also infests the lungs. 63. Sarcoptes scabiei, Latreille. The human itch insect. This common arach- nidan has been described under a multitude of synonyms. According to the highest Hving autho-
