Dr. R. Bergh on Phidiana Lynceus. 133 
shining epidermis. The fasciculated leaves are very small, 
somewhat glutinously rugulose, 1 or 2 lines long, scarcely 
+ line broad ; the terminal inflorescence has its spicated branch- 
lets 6 lines long; the calyx is broadly tubular, 1 line long, 
cano-pubescent outside, divided halfway into five triangular 
teeth ; the tube of the corolla is a trifle longer than the calyx, 
cylindrical and pilose outside; the pistil is as long as the tube 
of the corolla; the ovary semiglobose, seated upon the disk ; 
the stigma, annular at base, is rather longer than the style, 
conical, and divided at its apex into two short obtuse segments. 
The glabrous fruit consists of two nucules, each 2-celled.

XII.—On Phidiana lynceus and Ismaila monstrosa. 
By Dr. Rup. Bereu*. 
[Plate I.] 
THE genus Phidiana, Gray, may be thus characterized :— 
PHIDIANA, Gray. 
Corpus gracilius, elongatum. Rhinophoria perfoliata ; tentacula 
elongata. Papille dorsales in series obliquas confertas disposite. 
Podarium antice rotundatum vel subtruncatum. 
Margo masticatorius mandibule singula serie denticulorum pre- 
ditus. Radula paucidentata, dentibus uniseriatis armata. 
This genus agrees, with regard to the structure of the rhi- 
nophoria, with the more remote genus Antiopa, as well as with 
Flabellina, Cuv., from which latter, however, it is easily dis- 
tinguished by the bases of the papille and by the produced 
anterior corners of the foot in Wlabellina ; but the statements of 
Dr. Gray and Messrs. Alder and Hancock, as to the occurrence 
of lateral teeth in the latter genus, were not borne out by a 
more recent examination of this point in a new species, £7. 
Sempert, Bgh. Facelina, Ald. & Hance., is also easily dis- 
tinguished by the produced corners of the foot. Spurilla, Bgh. 
(see the ‘Transactions of the Royal Danish Society of 
Sciences,’ vii. 1864, p. 205), forms an intervening link between 
Phidiana and the more typical Alolidide, particularly Aoli- 
diella, a new genus, comprising as yet four species (viz. 4’. 
Semmeringti, F. 8. Leuckart, 4%. occidentalis, Bgh., n. sp., 
MG. glauca, A. & H., 4. Alderi, Cocks), and which may be 
thus characterized :— 
AMOLIDIELLA, Bgh. 
Forma corporis, rhinophoria, tentacula, papille et podarium ut in 
Afolidiis sensu strictiore.
