4. GYMNOSTINOPS*,gen. nov. 



The naked space at the base of the mandible is such a trenchant 

 character that I have felt compelled to separate the four species that 

 possess it from their fellows. Gymnostino^^s thus embraces the four 

 largest and finest species of the Cassiques, and ranges from Southern 

 Mexico down to Amazonia. 



* Gymnostinops, gen. nov., from yn/irds nalccd, oureivoi hony, and (o-^ face.
