MEMBRA ClDJE.

This genus shows no suprahumeral horns such as are to be seen in Pterygia, but 
it has more or less erect procephalic processes, which sometimes develop at their 
apices into broadly rounded extensions or swellings.

The type forms of /Echmophora, Stal, should be referred to Phylia, but Fowler 
thinks that AH. coronata should range under Hypsoprora.
