 not quite reaching the abdominal apex ; legs of moderate size, 

 anterior femora not incrassated." (Stdl.) 



This genus, by the head being spined behind the base of each 

 antenna, should fall into my division Euagorasaria (vol. ii, 

 p. 359). The length of the head and the proportions of the 

 anteocular and postocular portions differentiate it, and I place it 

 after that division, where it should perhaps constitute a new one, 

 and before the Polididusaria (vol. ii, p. 384) as defined in this 

 publication, which is intended as an aid to identification rather 

 than as a taxonomic treatise.
