With reference to Miss Stewart's paper it may be noted that V. serrata is undoubtedly 

 a species of Cyllopus, and that V. hodgsoni is apparently not a <$ as stated, but a $, or 

 rather a young specimen, and the species is possibly not a valid one. 



Behning's revision is useful, but his key to the species is not altogether satisfactory 

 and creates the impression that a further reduction in the number of species may take 

 place in the future. For example, the separation of longipes, Bov., from edzvardsii, Bate, 

 seems very doubtful. Moreover, I think it very probable that antarctica, or at least the 

 form here referred to antarctica, is really the same as edzvardsii.
