DR. MAXIMILIAN PERTY in his able work on Brazilian Insects has 
formed two grand divisions of Phalangidæ, and has given us the following 
characters, viz. 
Divisio Ima. Palpis spinosis, pedibus inaequalibus posticis et reliquis valdé 
remotis, femoribus incrassatis, abdomine plùs minüsve in cephalothorace 
occulto. 
Divisio 2da. Palpis muticis, pedibus omnibus subzequalibus aut sequalibus, 
abdomine nunc occulto nunc libero. 
As it is at first sight evident that the subject of the present paper can 
belong to neither of these divisions, partaking as it does of the characters of 
both, I may be allowed perhaps to suggest the adoption of a third division, viz. 
Divisio 3tia. Palpis spinosis, pedibus inzequalibus posticis valdé elongatis, 
non à reliquis remotis, abdomine libero. 
By means of this division, the genera Cosmelus and Decosoma, Perty, re- 
main by themselves, and the genus Phalangium is united with Dolichoscelis 
the subject of the present notice, the characters of which are detailed at 
length.
