See Lefalaphodon Cope, 1872. The genus was described three days previously 
under the name Lefalaphodon (misprint). It was redescribed Aug. 22, 1872, 
with three species: L. cornutus Cope (type), L. furcatus Cope, and L. pressi- 
cornus Cope, from the Eocene of South Bitter Creek, Wyoming. 
Extinct. 
Loxolophodon: Ao&ós, slanting; Ad@os, crest; 65@v=ddo0vs, tooth—in allusion 
to the form of the upper molars, which have oblique crests connecting the 
anterior internal tubercle with two external tubercles.

Am. Naturalist, XIX, 386, Apr., 1885. 
Type: Loxolophus adapinus Cope, from the Puerco Eocene of New Mexico. 
Extinct. ‘‘ Known only from inferior molars." 
Loxolophus: ÀAo£ós, slanting; Ao@os, crest—in allusion to the oblique, transverse 
crests of the lower molars.

the skeleton.” 
Loxomylus: Ao&ds, slanting, oblique; 4/0A7, molar—in allusion to ‘‘the tritu- 
rating surface [of the molars, which is] very oblique in the vertical direction, 
indicating the greater elevation of the teeth at one extremity of the series than 
the other." (CopE.) 
Loxopygus (see Loxomylus). Glires, Castoroididee.

Lupulus (subgenus of Canis) (* BLAINVILLE’) GERVAIS, 1855. Ferze, Canidee. 
[ BLaInvILLE, Ostéog. Mamm. Récents et Foss., IT, fasc. xm, (Canis) 30-32, 1843— 
in page headings only. ]

Oiseaux Algérie, 3, 1858 (?). 
Blainville's Lupulus, which occurs only in headings on pages 30-32 can hardly 
be said to be formally used even as a subgenus. Blainville says: ‘‘ Parmi 
celles [espéces de chiens] qui appartenaient à la section des véritables Loups, 
mais que la forme de la téte tend à rapprocher des Hyénes, nous comptons les 
C. eanerivorus, brachyteles, brachyotos ou procyonoides, dont le pouce des pieds de 
devant est court remonté (p. 30). 
Gervais’ genus includes the Chacals (Canis aureus Linneeus, etc.) of Europe, Asia, 
and Africa; the Isatis ( Canis lagopus Linn:eus) of the Arctic regions of the Old 
and New Worlds; and the Corsae (Canis corsac Güldenstaedt) of Asia. 
Lupulus: Dim. of Lat. lupus, wolf,
