Ticks presented by the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova (per
Professor Gestro), Genova, Italy 29 July, 1914:-
NOTE: These specimens are of particular interest as they are pickings from
those collected by L. Fea on his journey in Burma. They were contained in
2 bottles labelled I "Tipi di Canestrini St. Supino" & II Aecki di Birmaniae
(Viaggio Fea)". See F. Supino "Nuovi Ixodes della Birmania," Padova; also
G. Canestrini, Ann Museo Civico Genova XXXVII, p. 417-422. I gave the
Genova Museum many good specimens in exchange. The original labels give
scarcely more data than the names. I have added particulars from Neumann II
(1897) pp. 416-418 etc. The collection was sent to me by Prof. Gestro after
my visit to Genoa.
Names of places where Fea collected are given in Gestro 1904 pp. 6-8
