6. Genus: Itaballiji Kaiji'. 



The character of this genus consists in the formation of the i)recostal, which is nol placed at right 

 angles to the costal as in /Vr//.s but is strongly curved and in its di.stal jiart runs almost parallel to the 

 costal; otherwise it has no structui'al differences from Pierh. Fiom I'l-nlii/hi-is, with which it was united until 

 recently, it is distinguished liy the fonr-braiudied subcostal.
