37. Glyphipteryx Hb. 



I do not coiisidei- it advantageous to maintain Pliryqanostola 

 and Apistomorpha as distinct genera, as increased material shows 

 that they would not be natural groups, whilst when merged in 

 Glyplilpterijx^ the whole forms a ver}'- easily recognised and 

 well-marked genus. As the Australian species now number 43, 

 I give a tabulation to assist identification.
