Gill openings small, last widest, last two closer together, 3 above pec- 

 toral. Spiracles moderate, behind and partly below eye. Dorsals 

 siibequal, first above or behind ventrals, second before anal. Anal 

 small, near subcaudal. Caudal axis slightly raised. 



Australia. The first reference to this genus by Ogilby ^ is not only 

 without diagnosis or description, but the resultant genotype, "ZTemi- 

 scyllmm modestum''^ without designated authority, fails for its estab- 

 lishment.
