Ventral side. Epimera finely punctured, not coalescing in the median 
line, as is usually the case in the nymphe of Wothrus. Epimera I with 3 small 
hairs, ep. II with 1 hair, ep. 3 and 4 with 3 hairs. 
The legs are areolated in the basal half.

Neoliodes BERL. 
This genus has during the last years been studied both by JACOT (1924, 
1929) and SELLNICK (1930). According to SELLNICK there are in Europe only 
two species of this genus, iV. theleproctus (HERMANN), described from France 
and subsequently found in Italy by BERLESE, and JV. farinosus (C. L. Kocn), 
described on a specimen with only the last nymphal skin left on the hystero- 
soma and later described by MICHAEL from England (1888) under the name 
of WV. theleproctus and by BERLESE from Italy under the name of JV. caudatus.' 
It is my firm opinion that SELLNICK is right in considering these species as 
synonymes and in refuting to place Notaspzs theleproctus HERMANN in the vi- 
cinity of Dameus C. L. KOCK as suggested by JACOT. 
In 1916 BERLESE divided off VV. doderleini as a distinct subgenus, which 
left the other species included in Weolodes sensu stricto. I quite agree with 
SELLNICK that the establishment of a new genus Udetaliodes for these species 
by JACOT was uncalled for, and I find it singularly unfortunate that J. has 
chosen JV. concentricus SAY (not BANKS as JACOT writes!) as type of this genus. 
Because it is evident that WVeoliodes is quite a big genus, comprising numerous 
species both in America, Africa, Asia and Australia many of which differ only 
in rather minute details. This being the case WV. concentricus is altogether too 
imperfectly known to be used as the type of a genus. 
The description given by Say is as follows: »Sody spheroidal, black, 
opake, rounded before and carinated behind, invested with a brown epidermis; 
disk with about four elevated concentric circles, connected by numerous inter- 
stitial elevated lines; posterior carina crenate in compliance with the concentric 
lines; Aead triangular, rugose; oval aperture oval, closed by a valvular mentum; 
eyes two, minute, brownish, elevated on an elongated, slender filiform peduncle; 
orbits elevated, rather large, placed near the base of the head above; fee rather 
short, deep black, minutely granulated, terminated by three incurved nails; 
venter plain, granulated, valvs of the cloaca somewhat lineated.» 
It is certainly evident that the species is a Neoliodes, but that is all there 
* Neolicdes peltifer C. L. Kocu, by Micuaet (1897 p. 65) referred to Neoliodes I proved 
to be a Nothrus, a view later adopted by other ‘authors.
