Rotundata group G, W. Mliller. 



This group comprises five species (one of which is divided into two sub-sjiecies) besides 

 the two dealt with below. As has already been pointed out by G. W. MUller, it can be distinctly 

 defined from other groups belonging to this genus. It is characterized especially by the position
