Remarks: Catapsydrax stainforthi, new species, differs from C. dissimilis (Cushman and Bermudez) in being about one-half as large, and in having a more closely appressed bulla which may extend a short way along the sutures and which has much smaller arched
accessory openings that are restricted to the area over the sutures, instead of the relatively large arches of C. dissimilis which may open over much of the umbilical area of a chamber. It differs from C. parvulus, new species, and C. unicamis, new species, in having the four
or more smaller accessory openings beneath the umbilical bulla, rather than a single larger opening at one side only.
