156 SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. [SpiJcm and OpiHones. 



The preponderating number of specimens as well as the area of distribution of 

 the genera lllyro, Cambr., and Rubrius, E. Simon, of this group is certainly not a 

 little remarkable. It stands forward as quite an antarctic type. The disposition 

 of the front row of eyes in both genera, two small median eyes between two much 

 larger, is rare north of the Line and even in the southern equatorial region. This 

 arrangement extends even into the representatives of the families of Dictijnidae 

 and Cluhionidae found on the islands. 



Among the specimens sent me there are representatives of fifteen species from 

 eleven genera and seven families, but of these eight species and four genera belong 

 to the one group of Cyhoeeae above mentioned.
