3. EUNYCTERIS. 113 
Temminck observes, “ P. pallidus, P. phaiops, and P. griseus are 
remarkable in the genus for the small extent of the adhesion of the 
wings to the back, which does not exceed the width of 3 or 4 lines. 
This allies them to Cephalotes, but in that genus the wings are only 
attached to the back by a rudimentary membrane.” Mon. ii. p. 77.
