FAMILY SPH#ROMIDA. 123 
Specimens in the British Museum of Cil. crassa (Hasw.) 
and Cil. tenuicaudata (Hasw.) show that these species have 
been correctly referred ; according to Haswell’s descriptions 
of the abdominal notch, the same is the case with Cil. 
crassicaudata (Hasw.), Cil. hystrix (Hasw.) and Cil. 
curtispina (Hasw.), while I am unable to decide whether 
Cil. spinulosa (Hasw.) belongs to Cilicewa, or to the 
following sub-genus Cilicwopsis. The three species estab- 
lished by Whitelegge as belonging to Cilicewa are dealt with 
under Ciliceopsis. According to the examination of speci- 
mens forwarded me by Dr. Chilton, Nesa canaliculata 
(Thoms.) belongs to Cilicwa. On the other hand, Cilicewa 
caudata (Say) (originally established as a Nesa by Say, 
but referred to Ciliceea by Harriet Richardson) and Cilicwa 
caudata (Moore) are species of Paracerceis (n. gen.) ; 
Cilicea caudata Gilliana (Richardson), and C. cordata 
(Richardson) are certainly also species of Paracerceis. 
(8) Ciliceopsis (n. gen.).—As the type I take Cilicewa 
granulata (Whitelegge) ; from the Hast Indian and Aus- 
tralian regions I have seen some unnamed species more or less 
allied to that form. Whitelegge describes and figures two aber- 
rant species established on males, Cilicea stylifera (Whitel.), 
and C. ornata(Whitel.), which differ strongly from C. granu- 
lata (Whitel.) as to the shape of the upper side of abdomen, 
but agree with it im possessing a semicircular abdominal notch 
and rudimentary endp. of urp., while exp. of urp. is extremely 
elongate; I think that these two species can be referred to 
Ciliczopsis, but without an examination of any of them, or, 
at least, of closely-allied species, I cannot decide the question. 
(9) Bregmocerella (Hasw.).—Only one species, B. 
Grayana (Woodw.), is known; it has been described by 
Woodward, Haswell, Beddard, and Whitelegge, and figured 
by the two first-named of these authors. It is in reality, in 
spite of its aberrant aspect, closely allied to Cymodoce. To 
the characters pointed out on pp. 104, 105, may be added ‘that 
exp. of plp.® has not only the three usual protuberances, but 
besides a protuberance at the inner margin somewhat before
