Lindsey places this and the following species in a genus he 

 erects for them, leased on characters which may or may not be 

 of sufficient importance to warrant this action. We are inclined 

 to deplore the splitting up of the older genera in general, and as 

 we do not find important characters in the male genitalia to 

 support this separation, prefer to retain these species in the 

 genus EudamuK. 



In this and the following, the scaphium is shagreened, aedoe- 

 agus simple and the principal differences are confined to the 

 shape of the valve, especially its terminal structure, these having 

 strong specific l)ut little generic value.
