Remarks. — This species so far is known only from the holotype, 

 with the result that details of cyphopod structure, seasonal occurrence, 

 and geographic range must await future discoveries for elaboration. 

 There can be no doubt that C. bipraesidens is closely related to C. 

 rileyi, but sufficient differences between the two insure specific 

 separation.
