Extract

We believe that the publication of a new key to the species of the genus Polyplax, so soon after that contained in Ferris's recent monograph (Ferris, 1951), is justified since it includes two new species and three species, praomydis Bedford, subtaterae Bedford and cummingsi Ferris, which appear to require some re-definition as Ferris placed all three in synonymy.
