CALYMENE Microes.* Green. Cast 
-Clypeo antice subattenuato; occulis minimis in 
lateribus capitis; abdominis articulis a 14 ad 183 cor- 
_pore depresso.

The buckler is semielliptical, slightly punctate, and - 
much depressed anteriorly ; the front and cheeks are 
not very distinctly marked. The eyes are very re- 
mote from each other, being situated near the poste- 
rior lateral angles of the head. They are not very 
prominent, and exhibit no marks of being reticulated. 
Before the eye on each side, there is a slight trans- 
verse indentation. It is difficult to distinguish the 
articulations of the abdomen from those of the tail. 
They are from fourteen to eighteen in number. W here 
the lateral lobes remain perfect, two narrow raised 
lines appear between each of the ribs; these are most 
evident on the caudal extremities of the animal. rd he 
middle lobe is in the form of a long, slender, ‘and 
acute cone. The whole animal is an inch and a quar- 
ter long, and is much more depressed than any ay 
Calymene which we have seen. i” ™ ° 
I am indebted to Mr. Titian R. Peale for the use of 
the original from which our model was taken; his li- 
berality to those who cultivate Natural History is 
proverbial, and needs no encomium from me. ‘The ‘ 
C. Microps is said to*hayve been found near Ripley,

The eyes of this Calymene are small in compari?
