Lijga-us 2)hasianiis Wolff (nee Fabr.) Icon, ii, p. 72, f. 69 (1801), 

 is apparently a species of Anoplocnemis, described as " ex India 

 orieutali.'" I have never seen this species, and its habitat is too 

 vague for its definite insertion in the fauna of British India. 



Division PET ASC EL ARIA. 



In this Division the anterior femora have on the under surface a 

 double series of small spines, or they are spined on each side at apex,^ 

 or unarmed ; the lateral lobes of the head are widely separated at 

 their apices : the posterior coxte remote from each other ; the 

 abdominal spiracles large and transverse ; and the posterior femora 

 incrassated. 



About eight genera of Petascelaria are at present recognized, all 

 of which with one exception (PetilUa) belong to the Ethiopian 

 Eegion.
