* Communicated by the Author. 



•j- I have been compelled to alter this name and that of Ozocera, pro- 

 posed by me for two Tipulideous genera in a memoir forwarded several 

 •^^ ->,j years since for publication in the Zoological Journal, (and which has been 

 ^^^A^t. *^' printed off nearly twelve months,) M. Serviile having in the mean time em- 

 ployed Anoplistes for a genus of longicorn beetles, and M. Macquart that of 

 Ozodicera for a genus ofTipulidtB for which in the same memoir I had pro- 

 posed the name of Hemicteina. The specific names of several of the in- 

 sects described in the same memoir will also sink into synonyms, Mr. 

 Walker having published a description of them in the Entomological Maga- 

 zine for January 1835. In like manner my Aschiphasma annulipes will 

 sink into a synonym of Ferlamorphus hieroglyphicns of Mr. G. R. Gray*s 

 monograph upon the Phasmidce, just published. The great convenience 

 arising from the publication of scientific works at short intervals, such as 

 the Philosophical Magazine, is thus especially evidenced.
