NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF THE MYRIAPODA.* 

 By CHARLES HARVEY BOLLMAN. 



1. POLYZONIIN^E. 



1841. Omatopliora Brandt. Kecueil, 49. 



1872. Platydesmiens. Miss. Scieiitif. Mex., Zool.,vi, 199. 



1884. Platydesmia (Sauss. (?) ) Latzel. Myr. Ost. Uugar. Monarch., n, 356. 



Placing Siphonophora and its allies in a separate subfamily leaves the 

 remaining genera as a similar group to which we must give the name 

 POLYZONIIN^E, because it contains the type of the family Potyzoniidce. 



2. SlPHONOPHORIN^E. 



18Q.Typhloge>ia Brandt. Recueil, 50. 

 1844. SiphonophOi'idoe Newport. Trans. Linn. Soc., 278. 

 1869. Andrognathida: Cope. Proc. Aruer. Philos. Soc., 182. 

 1884. Dolinlenia Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., n, 362. 



Many writers have seen fit to detach Siphonophora from related 

 genera, and to make of it a separate family or subfamily. As no char- 

 acters of importance exist except those drawn from the form of body, 

 it seems best, therefore, to give it the rank of a subfamily only. 



To place Andrognathw Cope in this subfamily makes the number of 

 segments valueless as a subfamily character. 



3. ANDROGNATHUS. 



1869. Andrognathus Cope. Proc. Ainer. Philos. Soc., 182 (corticarius). 



1875. Dolistenus Fauzago. Atti Soc. Ven. Trent. Sci. Nat., 62 (savii). 



1884. Dolichostenua Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., n, 68 (emendation). 



1884. Dolystemie Berlese. Acari, Myr. & Scorp. Ital., Fas. xn, No. 2 (emendation). 



A careful comparison of Andrognathus and Dolistenus has shown that 

 the two genera are inseparable, and the latter must stand as a syno- 

 nym of Andrognathus. 



Dr. Berlese has used his emendation of Dolistenus in all his works, 

 while Dr. Latzel's only occurred in a foot-note, and was intended to 

 show how Dolistenus should be spelled according to its derivation. 



4. POLYZONIUM. 



1834. PolyzoHium Brandt. Oken's Isis, 704 (germanicum). 



1836. Platyulus Gervais. Bull. Soc. Phil. Paris, 71 (audouini=germanicum'). 



1839. Leinsoma Victor. Bull. Nat. Moscow, 44, pi. i (r6sea=fgermanicum).

in character, it is believed to contain matter of sufficient importance to warrant 

 publication. [L. M. u.]
