3. EUNYCTEEIS. 113 



Temminck observes, " P. pallklus, P. phaiops, and P. g'riseus are 

 remarkable in tbe genus for tbc small extent of tbe adhesion of the 

 wings to the back, which does not exceed the width of 3 or 4 lines. 

 This allies them to CejiJuthfes, but in that genus the wings are only 

 attached to the back b)' a rudimentary membrane." Alon. ii. p. 77.
