GEN. LYNCEUS, 0. F. Miiller.

 1816. L., Leach, Encyclopaedia Britannica, ed. 5 Suppl., art. 



Annulosa, p. 406. 



Leach here assigns to the genus only Miiller' s L. brachyurus, 

 which thus becomes a standard for the restricted genus 

 1846. Limnctis, Loven, K. Vet. Ak. Handlingar for Ar 1845, 



pp. 428, 430. 



Since Loven's genus covers L. bracliyurus, it must itself 

 become a synonym of the genus Lynceus as restricted by 

 Leach.

LYNCEUS WAHLBERGII (Loven). 



1846. Limnetis wahlbergii, Loven, K. Vet. Ak. Handl. for Ar 1845,.

 mentioned.

FAMILY CYZICID^B. 



1900. Extlicriidce, Sars, On some Indian Phyllopoda, p. 10. 



Sars takes the family in a restricted sense, limiting it for 

 the time to the two genera Estheria, Blippell, and his own 

 Leptestlieria. 

 1902. Leptestheriidce, Stebbing, Encycl. Brit., ed. 10, vol. xxviii. 



(Suppl. vol. iv.), p. 278. 



As Estheria lapsed by preoccupation, and as Leptestlieria, 

 comprised its typical species E. dahalacensis, it seemed 

 appropriate to found the family name on Leptestlieria.
