the valves and penis are closely similar. The genus Pseudaletis seems very homo- 

 geneous. Although the dorsal structures are very characteristic, the form of the 

 penis, the lower fultura and the valves seems to indicate an affinity with the group 

 containing Aphnaeus, Spindasis etc. Indeed, Druce, who had not examined the 

 genitalia, began his generic description with the words " allied to Spindasis ". The 

 view held by Aurivillius, who placed Pseudaletis amongst the undoubted Theclinae, 

 seems to me to be erroneous.
