150 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Inasmuch as Curtis designated the type of Therion as circum- 

 flexus Linnaeus the name Exochilum Wesmael which was pro- 

 posed for the same species was unnecessary and as Curtis' genus 

 antedates Wesmael's by ten years, Exochilum of Wesmael becomes 

 a synonym of Therion Curtis, the two genera being isogenotypic. 



Since Anomalon has to be used for Nototrachys (see above), 

 the Tribe Anomalini of Ashmead and authors should be known 

 under a name derived from that of the oldest genus which it con- 

 tains. This is Therion, therefore the Anomalini of Ashmead 

 and authors should be designated as Therionini. 



Genus Erigorgus Forster. 



Erigorgus Forster. 1868. Verh. Naturhist. Ver. Preuss. Rheinland, 

 vol. 25, p. 146.. 



Type. Anomalon (Erigorgus) carinatum Brischke. Monobasic by 

 Brischke in 1880. 



Syn. Barylypa Forster. 1868. Verh. Naturhist. Ver. Preuss. Rhein- 

 land, vol. 25, p. 146. 



Type. Anomalon (Barylypa) genalis Thomson. Included by 

 Thomson in 1892 and designated by Viereck in 1911. 



According to Szepligeti and Schmiedeknecht the types of the 

 above mentioned genera are congeneric. It is therefore neces- 

 sary to sink Barylypa of Forster to Erigorgus, as Erigorgus has 

 line precedence. 



The Erigorgus of Schmiedeknecht, Opusc. Ichnn., vol. 4, 1908, 

 p. 1484, is without a name but inasmuch as we are not sufficiently 

 familiar with this genus we hesitate to propose a name for it 

 especially as Szepligetti considers this group to be congeneric 

 with the type of Paranomalon Viereck.
