REMARKS

Ethusa evae , from the Upper Eocene (Priabonian), Hungary, has a subsquare carapace, well-developed outer orbital spines and fairly wide orbits. These characters are not typical of either Ethusa or an ethusid and we agree with Müller & Collins (1991: 67) that the outline of E. evae is somewhat reminiscent of Binkhorstia ubaghsi (Van Binkhorst, 1857) from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian). The identification of this species, in any case not a dorippoid, should be carefully reconsidered.
