 Types, Coll. Barnes. 



Differs from the genus Cynacda in having a prominent frontal 

 protuberance and two scale teeth on inner margin ; the general habitus, 

 however, is so similar to that of the European dcntalis. the type of the 

 genus, that we refrain for the present from creating a new genus for 

 its reception.

All our specimens are rather rubbed and fresh specimens may 

 present a slightly different appearance; the species, however, should 

 be readily recognized by the oblique subterniinal line which is even 

 more rigid than in rcctUinca Zell. and by its relatively larr;e size
