74 POLYCERIDiE. 



on the sides of the back : dorsal tentacles laminated, retractile 

 within sheaths : oral tentacles tubercular : (/ills plumose, non- 

 retractile ; odontopliore broad, with lateral spines of three 

 kinds ; the first next the centre large and bicuspid, the next 

 five or six short and squarish, the remainder very long, curved, 

 and slender. 



This genus agrees with the Plocaynoplioriis of Eiippell in 

 having a branched veil in front, but differs in the absence of 

 the fin-like tail. It has also a considerable resemblance to 

 Tliecacera, in which genus, however, the veil is either absent 

 or imperfectly developed. The tongue differs from that of any 

 other genus of the family.
