Note. — From the point of view of the genus-splitter this is a heterogeneous 

 genus. The two species D. looodiuardi (Hartert) and D. housei (Milligan) are 

 altogether apart from the preceding species which agree with the type of the genus, 

 IJ. textilis (Q. & G.), while J), go'/deri (Gould) is also easily separable. Most 

 authors will certainly wish to separate these last three species from the typical 

 forms of the genus ; for their use I jirovide the genera Magnamytis uov. with 

 type A. woodicaidl Hartert, and Eyramytis nov. with type ^1. (joyderi (Gould). 

 These are certainly more worthy of generic recognition than the majority of the 

 lately introduced genera.
