  — 
  Tliis 
  species 
  has 
  the 
  largest 
  eyes 
  of 
  any 
  American 
  form 
  

   in 
  the 
  Athintic 
  and 
  is 
  red 
  in 
  color 
  when 
  alive. 
  The 
  eyes 
  are 
  much 
  

   wider 
  than 
  the 
  narrow 
  int^rorbital 
  space. 
  

  

  Tlirough 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Thomas 
  Barbour 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  a 
  

   paratype 
  of 
  Sicyases 
  yumurina 
  Kivero 
  and 
  refer 
  it 
  to 
  this 
  species. 
  

   Some 
  traces 
  of 
  the 
  red 
  color 
  still 
  remain 
  on 
  this 
  specimen.
