Remarhs. — The identification of the " Terra Nova " specimens with Hodgson's 

 briefly described species has been confirmed by comparison with one of the syntypes. 



The presence of only five segments in the oviger shows that the species must be 

 referred to Phoxichilidium in the sense in which the genus is accepted by Loman 

 (1908, p. 64). According to that author, only two of the described species belong to 

 this genus — namely, P. femoratum (Rathke) and P. rohustum (Dohrn). Hodgson's 

 species agrees with the latter in the form of the proboscis (in which it also agrees with 

 certain species, such as Dohrn's P. angulatum, that would be referred by Loman to 

 Anojylodactylus), but dififers in having the body segmented, the lateral processes 

 separated, and the legs much longer and more slender. 



Genus ENDEIS, Philippi. 



Endeis, Philippi, 1843, p. 175; Norman, 1908, p. 2ol. 



CMlophoxus, Stebbing, 1902, p. 187. 



Phoxickiliis, auctt. plur. nee Latreille, 1804, p. 137. 



Genotype. — Endeis gracilis, Philippi, 1843, p. 176, PI. ix, fig. 1. 



Remarks. — Nothing appears to be wanting to justify Norman's restoration of 

 Endeis in place of Stebbing's Chilophoxus, except a formal designation of the genotype, 

 which is here supplied. Loman (1911, p. 16) states that Philippi described the ovigers 

 (under the name of palps) as having eight segments, and bases on this a protest against 

 the proposed change of name. As a matter of fact, Philippi's description and figure 

 agree in attributing seven segments to the so-called " palps." In a later paper, Loman 

 (1915, p. 200) makes no mention of this discrepancy, but maintains his protest on a 

 different ground, " Puisque Philippi releve lui-meme les diff'erences autre Endeis et 

 Phoxichilus, il serait par trop temeraire de vouloir identifier ces deux genres." The 

 reply to this would seem to be that, whatever Philippi may have thought about it, 

 his figures show clearly that he had before him a specimen congeneric with Phalangium
