interpretation of some of the latter. Thus Haliday^s labium, 
according to Meinert, is made up of the outer part of the 
maxillfie and the paraglossDC ; his maxillae are the inner lobes of 
those organs ; and his labial palpi maxillary palpi. The amended 
characters of the genera are given by Meinert as follows : —
