Kingsleyi, and has been admitted by all recent authors. Indeed, this genus 

 exhibits some very conspicuous differences from the true Candonae and appears 

 to approach more nearly to Crypocandona, being however well distingnished 

 also from that genus. It comprises only a single European species, but is 

 represented in more southern latitudes by several nearly-allied forms.

Specific Characters. Female. Shell, seen laterally, rather regularly 

 reniform in shape, greatest height a little behind the middle and about equal 

 to half the length, dorsal margin forming a quite even curve throughout, 

 without any trace of an angular bend either in front or behind, ventral 

 margin distinctly sinuated, both extremities evenly rounded off, the anterior 

 a little broader than the posterior; -- seen dorsally, narrow lanceolate in 

 outline, with the greatest width behind the middle and about equal to V 3 

 of the length, anterior extremity more pointed than the posterior. Valves 

 rather pellucid, with the surface smooth and polished, being clothed at 

 each extremity with delicate hairs; inner duplicatures of the anterior extremity 

 remarkably broad, with the inner edge almost straight and vertical. Anterior 

 antennae with the terminal part exceedingly slender, almost twice as long 

 as the basal one, and having all the joints narrow cylindrical in shape and 

 equal in size, setae rather slender. Posterior antennae with the penultimate 

 joint nearly as long as the antepenultimate one, and narrower than usual. 

 Terminal joint of the mandibular palp nearly of same length as the pre- 

 ceding joint, but much narrower, slender cylindrical in shape. Palp of maxilli- 

 peds gradually tapered and exhibiting trace of a small terminal joint. Caudal 

 rami excedingly narrow and slightly flexuous, apical claws slender and curved 

 in their outer part, the distal one exceeding half the lenght of the ramus. 

 Genital lobes evenly rounded off. 



Male of somewhat larger size than female, and having the posterior part 

 of the shell comparatively broader. Prehensile palps of maxillipeds rather 

 short and stout and, as usual, somewhat unequal, the right one being con- 

 spicuously broader than the left, whih the outer edge strongly bowed through- 

 out. Copulative appendages terminating in 2 unequal lappets, the upper one
