Description of a new Genus of Coecilise. 



By G. A. Boulenger. 

 Epicrionops, g. n. 



Squamosals separated from parietals. Two series of teeth 

 in the lower jaw. Tentacle minute, flap-shaped, close to the 

 anterior border* of the eye*. Latter distinct. Cycloid imbri- 

 cated scales imbedded in the skin. 



* I could not give a better representation of this tentacle than the 

 figure 1 (representing a larva of Ichthyophis glutinosus !) of the plate ac- 

 companying Peters's memoir on the Ccecilue, in Monatsb. Berl. Acad. 1879.
