Herpetopora Anglica, the genotype of the new genus Herpetopora, described in this Magazine, was the name proposed for a new species that hitherto had been wrongly recorded as Hippothoa dispersa (Hagenow). It was then remarked that the English form did not belong to the genus Hippothoa, of which the genotype is H. divaricata; but, while Herpetopora was proposed for the English species, no suggestion was made for a genus to include Hippothoa dispersa (Hagenow) that certainly could not remain under Hippothoa. It is proposed here to describe in detail Hagenow's species, to give it a generic name, and, further, to consider some allied forms.
