* It -svould have been more convenient if Drs. Finscli and Hartlaub had 

 specially designated the tjpe for their genus, instead of giving a list of the species 

 belonging to it. D. fv.Ivicapilla, the first on their list, is aberrant in colour 

 from all the others and less typical in form ; and in reconstituting the genus I 

 propose to regard D. damarensix as the type.
