The validity of the last subdivision must remain somewhat in 
doubt until the types can be subjected to more extensive study, as 
hatzel attempted only a generic sketch, and Porat thought to identify 
his animal with a previously described species. This last was re- 
duced by Meinert to a synonym of Ojya barba^ica, and Porat offers no 
reasons for setting aside this decision except that the description and 
plates would fit the Kamerun species if modified in two very impor- 
tant particulars. 
This is apparently an example of the reprehensible practice of re- 
ferring new species to old descriptions whose onl}^ applicability con- 
sists in the fact that they seldom touch upon characters of present 
utility in generic or specific definition.
