It is present in allthe species here treated, but its extent of development differs with thespecies. The presence of this spine is not further mentioned underthe accounts of the genera and species, except where its degree ofdevelopment is unusual. Preocular, supraocular, postocular : Three spines on the upperorbital rim, one approximately over the anterior margin of the pupil;the posterior two much closer to each other than to the anterior one,placed approximately over the posterior margin of the pupil.
