3rd ser. vol. ii. pp. 445-452) a revision of the British speeies of 
this gemiSj in whieh he ineludes Cyphoceble (Thoms.). He re- 
jeets the names given by Stephens to 3 speeies, A. rvflcolle 
(Morsh.) — Ainphicyllis globus (Payk.), and A. affine (Marsh.) 
and rufipes (Steph.) as being insuffieiently deseribed, the former 
identieal with A, Imvigatum (Eriehs.), and the latter unrecog- 
nizable and not represented by any specimens (probably = A. 
atrvm,, Payk.). The total number of species cited and charac- 
terized is 11, of which 3 are now described in more detail.
