Godwin-Austen, in describing the present species, expresses the opinion that it is doubtless the form minor of P. macromphalus alluded to by Blanford in J. A. S. B. 1870, p. 18. The parietal armature consists of a strong vertical plate, a little deflexed below anteriorly, having posteriorly two minute â pig. 21.âFlecioj>ylis minor. one above and one below. A very thin, free horizontal fold occurs below the vertical plate, revolving as far as the parietal ridge at the aperture, where it becomes much attenuated (see fig. 27/) ; this fold appears to be somewhat variable, for in a specimen in Mr. Ponsonby's collection, shown in fig. 27 I, it is very short, and scarcely extends beyond the vertical plate; while in another specimen, also in Mr. Ponsonby's collection, shown in fig 27 d, it is absent altogether. Godwin-Austen, in his description of the species, states : " Parietal vertical lamina simple, with no distinct horizontal plica below ;.
