Letter to Ludwig Glauert from Theresa Clay, Department of Entomology, British Museum of Natural History, London.Mr Benson has passed to me your letter of 13/8/47 on examining a collection of Mallophaga.The systematics for Mallophaga are currently in
confusion as the majority of species found are generally new.Naming of new species are worked out in relation to known species.My work on Mallophaga is concentrated on working out the genera from related groups of birds.I would be happy to work through the collection and name identifiable species, generic identifications and the number of species likely to be new.You could then decide how you would like the results treated.
