10 CARL BOVALLIUS, THE OXYCEPHALIDS. 



present treatise as belonging to the genus Streetsia, STEBBING; Oxyce- 

 phalus typhoides, GLAUS, and 0. scleroticus, STREETS, both here transferred 

 to the genus Stebbingella, n. g. ; Leptocotis Lindstromi, n. sp., here 

 named Dorycephalus Lindstromi; Leptocotis tenuirostris, GLAUS; 

 Tullbergella, n. g., with the new species T. cuspidata; Calamorhyn- 

 chus pellucidus, STREETS; Rhabdonectes, n. n. instead of Rhabdosoma, 

 which name the" writer supposed to be preoccupied, but wrongly, as 

 STEBBING (1. c. p. 1606) has clearly proved. Diagnoses were also given 

 of Rh. armatus, H. MILNE EDWARDS, and Rh. Whitei, SPENCE BATE. 



In 1887 the important work of GLAUS, 36, Die Platysceliden)) was 

 issued. He gave there good drawings of all the species described in 

 his previous paper of 1879 (see p. 8). He maintained his opinions 

 about Oxycephalus piscator, H. MILNE EDWARDS, and Rhabdosnma armatum, 

 H. MILNE EDWARDS, spoken of above (p. 7 and 8). The descriptive part is a 

 reprint of his paper of 1879, with some few additions. 



In the same year G. M. GILES, 37, described a new species of Rhab- 

 dosoma, Rh. investigatoris, which is however undoubtedly synonymous with 

 Xiphocephalus Whitei, SPENCE BATE; GILES expressed the opinion that 

 GLAUS was quite right in considering Rkabdosoma Whitei, SPENCE BATE, 

 as the male of Rh. armatum, H. MILNE EDWARDS. 



In December 1887 I gave, 38, a diagram of the systematical rela- 

 tions of the Hyperiidean families, in which the Oxycephalidae are recorded 

 as the thirteenth family and placed between the Tryphcenidce and the 

 Pronoidce.
