THE ARMADILLIDID® 433 
Budde-Lund gives in effect the following ‘ Conspectus 
Generum :’— 
I. Outer branch of the uropods small or minute, rather 
smooth. 
A. Terminal segmeut not shorter than the uropods. 
a. ‘Terminal segment apically truncate. 
1. Cubaris. 2. Eubelum. 38. Pseudarmadillo. 
b. Terminal segment apically acuminate. 
4, Peryscyphis. 
Bb. Terminal segment shorter than the uropods, 
broadly triangular. 
5. Spheronscus. 6. Cylloma. 
II. Outer branch of the uropods large, flattened, lamellar. 
7. Hluma. 8. Armadillidium. 
Cubaris, Brandt, 1833, appears to be the earliest 
synonym of Armadillo, Latreille, 1804, which is not only 
preoccupied, but has had the type-species removed to 
another genus. Under the name Armadillo, Budde-Lund 
gives descriptions of thirty-six species, and the names of 
some twenty-four more. Only two or three of this host 
are found in Europe, seven belong to South Africa, five to 
South America, a great number occur in the islands and 
coasts of the Pacific, while from the whole mainland of 
Asia not one is known, except Cubaris officinalis (Des- 
marest), a species found all round the Mediterranean. 
Dollfus adds Armadillo melanurus, 1887, Armadillo java- 
nensis, 1889, Armadillo trifolium, 1890, and Armadillo albo- 
marginatus, 1892. In this genus the flagellum of the second 
antennee is two-jointed. 
Hubelum, Budde-Lund, 1885, has the flagellum of the 
second antennze three-jointed, the Jast segment of the pleon 
in the middle squarely produced. As in the preceding 
genus the opercular branch in all the pleopods is tracheal, 
The only species is Hubelum lubricum, from South Africa. 
Pseudarmadille, de Saussure, 1858, has very small, un-
