4. SARCOPHANOPS. 



Type.

 p. 344 (1879) S. steerii. 



The discovery of a Eurylsemid in the Philippines is of great 

 interest, as affording further evidence of the essential connection of 

 the Philippine fauna with that of the Oriental Region. 



Sarcophanops is most nearly allied, I think, to Eurylamus, but 

 distinguished from that and every other form of the group by the 

 naked skin round the eye and the rather feebler feet.
