SPECIES OF CIRCULASPIS 



Pygidium with deep mesal indentation and three others on each side; 

 projections of margin of pygidium between indentations serrate; "con- 

 spicuous cylindrical canal" extending cephalad from mesal cleft over 

 half way to anus, terminating in "brush of small tubular ducts;" dor- 

 sal and ventral surfaces dotted with minute circular pores with thick- 

 ened rims; anus near cephalic end of pygidium; mesospiracerores and 



metaspiracerores numerous. India on bamboo

a. Pygidium with three indentations on each side; mesal projection with 

 slight mesal groove; margin of pygidium shallowly crenulate; anus 

 located slightly cephalad of vulva, about fifteen times its width from 

 caudal margin; mesospiracerores present; dorsal oraceratubae nu- 

 merous, irregularly placed. California on grass. --graminis Bremner.
