  This 
  species 
  and 
  the 
  following 
  one 
  are 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  Euro- 
  

   pean 
  A. 
  plagiatus 
  y 
  and 
  could 
  be 
  placed 
  quite 
  naturally 
  in 
  the 
  

   genus 
  or 
  subgenus 
  Geodromicus, 
  which 
  is 
  characterized 
  by 
  

   the 
  absence 
  of 
  membranous 
  appendages 
  from 
  the 
  claws.
