Fam. CIOIDAE. 



The Cioidae is a family of doubtful position. They are represented by 42 species, 

 29 of which are referred to the genus Cis, and 13 to a new genus, Apterocis. The 

 members of the latter genus are the most remarkable island representatives of the 

 family, although most of those assigned to Cis are themselves of peculiar facies, and 

 very unlike the ordinary representatives of the genus. There is however no doubt 

 that both these genera, as represented in the islands, will hereafter be further divided.
