All the finds of the ,,Antarctic" expedition were consequently made south of the 

 area of distribution stated by G. W. MCller. 



Obtusata group G. W. MOller. 



G. \V. Mi'LLEH puts only two species in this group, namely the species dealt with below, 

 after which the group was called, and C. parthenoda G. W. Mt'LLER. The latter species, of which 

 only females are known, is included in this group only with the greatest hesit;ation. It is quite 

 impossible to decide whether these two species are connected on account of the incomplete 

 description of C. parthenoda.
