With the exception of oblongata, the group is without 

 armature to the valvse. The valvae differ considerably in 

 shape, and are generally large and full. The uncus is 

 usually minutely hooded. The labides would probably 

 form important organs for differentiation, but the peculiar 

 curvature makes it impossible for one to mount them in a 

 uniform position so as to render them easy for comparison, 

 therefore little can be made of them. The papillae that 

 arise on the feet of the labides, afford to some extent a
