Those Mantes whose eyes terminate in a spine seem to form a 

 separate family from the rest, if they may not rather be considered 

 as a genus; for, besides the above singular character afforded by 

 the eyes, their antennae are very ditferent both in the number and 

 form of the joints of which they are composed.
