 logues (Lohde's included) are hilai is, Westw., and dux, Westw. 

 The former of these is stated by Gorham (Cist. Ent., II., p. 62) 

 to be congeneric with Tillus bipartitus, Blanch., and greatly to 

 resemble it, but not to be a Tillus. T. bipartitus is the type of 

 my genus Thanasimomorpha (my identification of T. bipartitus 

 was confirmed by Dr. Sharp). I have before me a small Clerid 

 from Victoria which agrees well with Westw ood's description of 

 T. hilaris (a Tasmanian species) in every respect except in being 

 a trifle small and having its tibiae and tarsi infuscate. It differs
