(h-<H,p POIKILOMORPHI^. 



Tlie species, for the reception of wliich I pi-opose, as ah-eady 

 intimated, a new group or section and a new genus, diifers 

 from all known genera of the sub-family Diplurinfe, by the 

 relative size of its eyes. The feature is certainly unique. 

 Usually, the median eyes of the rear I'ow are the smallest, but 

 in the form described underneath they are slightly the largest ; 

 again, the front medium pair, which are invai'iably large — 

 sometimes even the largest — are in this instance not only small, 

 but minute. Other generic features of importance are noted 

 in the description given below.
