:tt>2 TUB CANAUIAN KNTOMULUGIHT. 



fseinia Haag Rutenbsrg, 1879, type species //rj;/j i'hunbcrg, 1791, 

 virtually desi<;nated, as the species is named by the author in the title of 

 the description of his genus. 



Mfj^etra LeConte. 1859, type species canallata Hrandt et Erichson, 

 1832, practically designated by author of genus, as he considered the only 

 other species (vittata) as possibly only a variety oi cancellata. 



Mtcromerui Mulsant et Key, 1858, type species collaris labricius, 

 1787, virtually designated by authors of genus. 



PUuropinta Wellman, 1909, type species mirabilis d. H. Horn, 1870, 

 formally designated by author of genus. 



Sagitla Kscherich. 1894, type species aitj^usticollis Haag-Rutenberg. 

 1880, virtually designated in original description as type of genus. 



Tricanioiifs Wellman, 1910, ty|»e specie?; Uiimhutii H.ildpin.nn. 

 1852, formally designated by author of genus. 



In the second group, according to the principle of type by tautonomy 

 (Rule 5 supra), we may designate : 



Proscaralneus Leach, 1832, type s\>cc\t^ proscarabieus Linne, 1758. 



Under the next group are listed those cases falling under rule 6 ( riife 

 supra). It is a relief in more or less doubtful cases to find types 

 designated by a writer subsequent to the original author of a genus. In 

 the j)resent family we find some such instances as : 



Cahalia Mulsant et Rey, 1858, type species sfgetum Kabricius. 1792 

 (cf Kscherich \'erh. k. k. /ool.-bot. (iesell., Wien, 1894, p. 45). 



Cissites Latreille, 1807, type species maculata Swederus, 1787. ((^f. 

 Gahan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1908, p. 199 f.) 



Euzonitis Semenow, 1893, ty|)e species sexmaculata Olivier, 1791 

 (cf Kscherich Verb, naturf Verb. Brunn., 1897, p. 103). 



Iforia Kabricius, 1787, type species /^/r/rrrt Kabricius, 17S7. (Cf 

 Crahan, I. c.) 



Loj^orina .Mulsant el Rey, 185S, type species J^'r/tv<l Waltl., 1835 (cf. 

 Kscherich, 1. c, p. 20). 



Lydus Megerle, 1829, type specits aigiricus Linne, 1758 (cf. 

 Kscherich Deutsch, Knt. Zeit., 1896, p. 193). 



Lytla Kabricius, 1775, type i>esicatoria Linne, 1758. The Linnsean 

 rule (8a supra) would have fixed the type of this genus could the Linnivan 

 name Cantharis have been retained. Still vesioUoria has by several 

 authors (v. Kscherich, Ver. k. k. zool. bot. Gesell., 1894, p. 19) been 

 designated as the type of the genus I.ytta K.
