 In 1899 the French authors recognised in this family seven 

 genera, Paromola, Faromolopsis, and Hypsophrys, instituted by 

 Wood-Mason; Homologenus and Latrcillopsis, by Henderson; 

 Homola, Leach; and Latreillia, Roux- They remark that the 

 species of Paromola are the primitive forms of the group, and that 

 Latreillia is linked to it by the intravention of Latrcillopsis. Alcock 

 distinguishes three sub-genera of Homola, namely, Homola. 

 Homolax, and Paromola. This writer also, in the Journ- Asiat. 

 Soc. Bengal vol. 68, p. 155, 1899, separates Latrcillopsis and 

 Latreillia from the PIomoHdse, placing them in a new family 

 Latreillidae, in this respect following the lead of S. T. Smith, who 

 in 1883 distingfuished the Latreillidea from the Homolidea, al- 

 though with Alcock Homolidea is an over-group embracing the 

 two families, the Latreillidae (or rather Latreilliidie) being distin- 

 guished by very elongate eye-stalks, by having eight pairs of gill 

 plumes, and no epipods on the trunk legs, while in the Homolid?e 

 the eye-stalks are not so elongate, the gill plumes are in thirteen 

 or fourteen pairs, and there are epipods on the chelipeds and often 

 on the two following pairs of legs.

The very numerous references to this genus can be traced from 

 tliose here" given for the family and the typical species. For 

 Homola as a subgenus, iVlcock names H. barbata as the type, for 



»;;,.> o.v H. mcgalops, Alcock, and for Paromola, Wood-Mason, 

 H- cuvicri (Risso). For the sub genus Homola he gives the follow-
