Koch, 1 species (both genus and species unknown), 4 other species (under Solpuga and Galeodes by several authors) considered doubtful. The following new genera and species are described: --Zeria, closely allied to G tulia; differs in having the ocular eminence without the two bulbous hairs, and in the absence of spines on the metatarsi of the fourth pair of legs.
