Note: Haemalastor was established by C. L. Koch to include one species {longirostris)^ of which he only knew the $. Neumann, 1901, p.-290, dis- covered, however, upon examination of the type, that it possessed eyes, in consequence of which he referred it to the genus Hyalomma. Consequently, the genus Haemalastor disappears, together with the single species upon which it was founded. For list of species referred to Haemalastor by various authors, see List of condemned species. Eschatocephalus Frauenfeld, 1853, p. 55. Recognized by L. Koch, 1877, p. 150; Joseph, 1882, p. 16 ; Neumann, 1899, p. 179, and 1901, p. 290 (name revived), and all subsequent authors except Donitz, 1910. For a list of species referred to Eschatocephalus by various authors, see List of condemned species. Note: Eschatocephalus was retained as a genus by Neumann (1902, p. 116) until 1904, p. 445, when he made it a subgenus of Ixodes^ because he considered that the generic characters were insufficient to maintain the generic rank, the differences being only specific. He states that the by virtue of its claviform palps, which are circular on cross section, differs sufficiently from other Ixodes to place this species (meaning /. vespertilionis) in a subgenus. Still retained as a genus by Blanchard, 1909, p. 96. We are of the same opinion as Donitz, 1910, p. 400, that there is no valid reason for retaining the genus, and we hav^c^ndemned Eschatocephalus as a subgenus. Dermanj^ssus Kolenat],A^857, p.
