Miers places this s[)ecics in the sul);j;'eiius Lcpfomithrax. T\w (;heli- 

 peds, however, are not greatly eloujuatcd nor (he palm subcylindrical. 

 The cari)us is similar in shape to thoscol/^rro/tii and latrcUIci, has two 

 ri(lj;(^s, and is spinulous. In the lar^(n' specimen the lingers meet iilon'}.? 

 Iheir inner ed<;('s wIkmi clos(!d; in ;i sp<u'imen about one and a half 

 inches lon<:j, they are j^apinj^' at base, with a. tooth on the dactyl. 

 Our spci'imens ol" lonffimanvs and ((iistralis have linji^ers f>aping at 

 base. This, therefore, can not (Constitute a subjicneric character. I'Jd- 

 icitrdsii is allied also by the form of its caraitace to the subj?enus 

 Paramithrax, in which the ca])ara<'e is oblonj;- ovate, while in hcpto- 

 milhrax the carajiace is lrianj;idar-ovnte. In cduHiriLsii (he eyes reach 

 the [>os((>('ular spine, as in Ijcptomilhrax,
