. I have not the necessary advantages for deciding which name 
should be employed for this genus and hence follow American 
usage. Some ten nominal species are known from North and 
South America. Three species occur in the United States two 
of which are known from Minnesota.

high, passing with little flexure into the cranial, nasal portion 
very broad, hiatus between the upper incisors of either side 
wide, quadrately excavated. Zygoma complete. Distance be-

Pterygoids projecting inferiorly. Dentition, 7. $ c. }m. 2 (#) 
x 2=32 (30). Last upper molar greatly compressed from be-
