again dividing the compressiventres into groups on the degree of com- 

 pression ! To pursue such a course it would seem is to bring <>n dis- 

 traction. 



In the "Limnerinae" the customary neglect of the Foerster collection 

 is manifest and as usual no reason is given for this procedure. Grant- 

 ing that the Foerster collection of Campoplegini is still in existence our 

 European colleagues could do a great service by consulting it and rec- 

 onciling the species on which the genera without geno-types were based 

 with the latest facts, to the end that Foerster's genera without species 

 would have species placed in them. It is greatly to be regretted that 

 this latest classification still leaves us in the dark with reference to the 

 genera of Foerster without a species. 



The zoogeographical arrangement of the species is convenient and 

 helpful as in other parts done by Mr. Szepligeti. It were well if this 

 arrangement were adhered to throughout the Genera Insectorum. 

 For example the Chalcididae part would have been made useful had the 

 species been divided into zoogeographical regions. 



Some corrections and changes are called for to wit: page n, 

 Biolysa should read Biolysia; page 12, Canidia Holmgren is certainly 

 preoccupied in the Coleoptera as correctly held by Ashmead ; page 13, 

 the genotype of Hyposoter is H. paror^yiae Viereck and of Horogenes 

 the type is H. discoocellellae Viereck. Both of these genera may be 

 distinguished from Casinaria by the shorter propodeum which hardly 

 extends beyond the base of hind coxae and does certainly not surpass 

 the basal third of the hind coxse ; there are other differences, but this 

 we hold to be the most important hence we are opposed to Horogenes 

 and Hyposoter as being synonymous with Casinaria. As the geno- 

 types of Horogenes and Hyposoter were not published until 1910 they 

 probably were not known to Szepligeti before he finished his paper; 

 page 15, the genotype of Lintncria Holmgren cannot be a species con- 

 generic with Eulinineria Schmiedeknecht so the reviewer in order to 

 make as little confusion as possible chooses (Ichneumon] Liinncna 

 loiii^'ipcs ( Muller) Gravenhorst. Thomson, as type of Liinuc^ia ; the type 

 chosen for Olcsicampe Foerster is Ichneumon longipcs Muller, thus 

 Linnicria and Olesicampe are isogenotypic and Olcsicampe becomes 

 the name to be used in place of the preoccupied Linnicria. making Lun- 

 ncrium unnecessary. Euliiiincria is not congeneric with Olcsicampe and 

 should not be placed as synonymous with the same: page 21. as the 

 genotype of Pliaedroctoinis Foerster is not included, its being a syno- 

 nym of Nemcritis Holmgren is questioned; page 30, Tranoscma is pre- 

 occupied by the Tranosema (Foerster) Thomson, and therefore may 

 be called 7.<itrati<iscina new name; page 33. the synonymy being cor- 

 rect Eriborus must replace Anilastus; page 38, Nythobia and Diadegina
