A species cloaelj allied to tlia Bomeau A. rhottihoidea^ Baill. The lattot spetnea 
has however lonivea of Lhiimer Lexturo, and their main norvea nro more putjesceiit 
beneath whilo, infltead of bcvag deeply depresEod on tho «pi>Br surface, they are 
scarcely visible. The tranavereo vetiia are also finer and less visible than in tho 
leaTea of this, while the lower sarface htis nomeroiia minute white scales ; the learoa 
of this have no acales. The pctolg of A, rkomhoidea are described by Baillou na 
flabellate-incieed.
