Catoptes View in CoL sec. Sharp

Sharp (1886) described three species in Catoptes , and discussed the differences between Catoptes and Irenimus , synonymising the two genera. This synonymy was based on a mistaken conclusion that Lacordaire (1863) erred in placing Catoptes in a group lacking ocular lobes. Catoptes sec. Sharp is consistent with Catoptes sec. Broun, but excludes Catoptes Schönherr.
