The following brief criticisms may be made respectino' 

 Prof. Kraepelin's determinations of the species of this 

 genus : — 



Diplocentrus Hasethi, Kraepelin (Jahrb. Hamb. Wiss, 

 Anst. xiii. p. 130, 1896), from Cara9no, is closely allied to 

 D. antt'Ilanus, Foe, not to D. Whi'tei, Gervais ; but, judging 

 from the description, it differs in having the vesicle granular 

 and the caudal keels better developed. 



Diplocentrus Whitei, Kraepelin (Jahrb. Hamb. Wiss. 

 Anst. xi. p. 13, 189-4), is not the same as Whi'tei of Gevvais, 

 whatever else it may be. Prof. Kraepelin quotes D. mexi- 

 caw2<5, Peters, and i>. GundlacM, Karsch, as undoubtedly syno- 

 nymous with it, and Oiclus Purvesi, Becker, and D. Keyser- 

 lingii, Karsch, as doubtfully so. So far as Oiclus Purvesi is 

 concerned, this view is quite untenable. The British 

 Museum has recently received from Mr. Forrest specimens 

 of the latter species from Antigua, and I have been able to 

 establish the accuracy of Mons. Simon's observations as to 

 the presence of but two lateral eyes on each side, the feature 

 upon which the genus Oiclus was based. In addition to this 

 the species is characterized by sundry well-marked specific 

 features, sufficient, apart from the eyes, to differentiate it 

 from all the members of the genus Diplocentrus known to me. 



Diplocentrus antillanus, Kraepelin {loc. cit. p. 16), is not 

 identical with D. antillanus, Pocock, but is either the same 

 as, or closely allied to, D. Whitei, Gervais, and D. rectimanus, 

 Poc.
