NEW GENERIC NAMES FOR UPPER CRETACEOUS GASTROPODA. 



BY BRUCE WADE. 



In a recent paper entitled New and Little Known Gastropoda from 

 the Upper Cretaceous of Tennessee, published in the Proceedings of 

 The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia for September, 

 1917, pp. 280-3C4, there were several errors which crept in because 

 of the necessity of preparing the paper for publication after the writer 

 left Baltimore and had entered the U. S. Artillery service. 



It is the purpose of this brief note to rectify these mistakes and 

 omissions. The family name Fusidce should have been inserted over 

 the genus Falsifusus on page 284, and similarly the family name 

 BusyGonidce should have been inserted over the genus BolteneUa on 

 page 285. 



The generic term Hyllus (page 281) has been found to be much 

 preoccupied and the new name Parafusus is here proposed to take 

 its place, the type thus becoming Parafusus calUlateras and the 

 second species, Parafusus coloratus. Similarl}^ the term Scohina 

 (page 286) is preoccupied and for the latter the name Haplovoluta is 

 proposed, the type species becoming Haplovoluta bicarinata. The 

 new Buccinoid genus Seminola is not regarded as being preoccupied 

 by the Coleopteroid genus Seminolus of Mulsant (1869) although 

 the two are dangerously alike and a different term would have been 

 proposed in the first instance if the writer had been aware of 

 Mulsant's genus.
