NiPlIADES. 



(Hylobiinte.) 



Hylolio omnino eongruit, prseter imguiculos bifidos. 



There is no other genii3 with bifid claws among the ITylobiinae ; 

 and in the allied subfamilies it is a very exceptional character. 

 There are three well-marked species, of which two are described 

 below ; all my specimens appear to have been covered with a dull 

 greyish crust or squamosity, in addition to ordinary scales, that 

 seems to be easily detached, except in the punctures.
