Taxonomic remark BttADY described the genus on two different occasions in two papers which
are very nearly identical. Both papers were published in 1872, but in one
(Nat. Hist. Trans. Northumberland & Durham vol. IV, pt. II, p. 443) he
used the words " Macrocheiron new genus ", in the other paper (Ann.
Mag. N. H., ser. 4, vol. X, p. 9) in the text the words "Macrochiron new

hard to decide which spelling has priority, I am inclined to accept the
name Macrochiron as being older. At any rate, the relevant issue of the
