scheli was. Clarke's species H. derhyi ^ seems to have many of the 



characteristics of our t3'pe of Homalonotus, and we can therefore 



say that our species, which have a strong family likeness, show 



affinities to the South American forms. 



Lake states that tlie nearest allj' of H. herscheJi is the 



Rhenish species H. armatus, Burmeister ; the resemblances, how-

This form is very closely allied to H. hrrscJifli, but the pygi- 

 dium has very marked differences, which are the same in the two 

 other specimens in the Albany Museum. The remains of the
