dd. Pygidium without plates in second incisurae. 



e. Pygidium with median pair of lobes broad, broadly round- 

 ed, notched on lateral and mesal margins; second pair 

 of lobes small, incised, mesal lobelet larger than lateral; 

 plates arranged 2, 0, 4, those of each lateris arranged in 

 two groups of two each, one near middle, other at the

ee. Pygidium with median pair of lobes bluntly pointed, en- 

 tire or inconspicuously notched, distant; second pair of 

 lobes incised, mesal lobelet much larger than lateral; 

 plates arranged 2, 0, 3, those of each lateris placed, one 

 near each second lobe, one near middle, other at cephalic 

 end; median incisura with spine-like projection between 

 plates, each second incisura with lobe-like projection bear- 

 ing oraceratuba; genacerores 4-7(6-7)4-4. Seychelles
