Abstract
During the survey conducted by the research group of "Japan Academic Expedition of Central and South India" sponsored by the Tokyo Shinbun (Chief: Dr. Shinya Nishimaru) from December 1961 to March 1962, Dr. Genzo Mitsui collected many specimens of sucking lice from a Northern Palm Squirrel (Five Striped Palm Squirrel) captured in Nalainpur, Madhya-Pradesh, India. The author examined specimens in detail and found that they consist of three species belonging to the three genera Enderleinellus, Hoplopleura and Neohaematopinus, resepctively, and that two species of them are new species. Therefore the descriptions and figures of both the two new species and a note on another previously described species will be given in the present paper. As for the scientific names of the host animals, the author followed the identification by Dr. Yoshinori Imaizumi, a member of the National Science Museum (Tokyo).
