strong elevated rib across the costals, branching laterally from the scapule to 
the arms, at the same time that an elevated ridge is formed over the intercos-

in the integument or mouth and rendering it subpentangular, (fig. 4.)

ture time enable me to establish two species, I should propose for that from 
Mitchel Dean, the name of Rhodoerinites quinquangularis.
