3. EUNYCTERIS. 113 



Tcmminck observes, " P. pallidas, P. j'haiojis, and P. griseus aro 

 remarkable in tbe genus for tbe small extent of tho adhesion of tbo 

 wings to tbe back, whieb docs not exceed the width of 3 or 4 lines. 

 This allies them to Gephalotes, but in that genus tbe wings are only 

 attached to the back by a rudimentary membrane." Mon. ii. p. 77.
