272 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Eremobia, Serville. Orthopteres, p. 704, 1S39. 



Preoccupied by Eremobia, Stephens. Catal. Brit. Ins., Lepidoptera, 

 p. 104, 1829 (Lepidoptera). The next available name is Tmethis, Fieber, 

 Lotos, III., p. 128, 1853. 



Xiphocera auct ( Xiphicera). 



The use of this name by Latreille (Fam. Nat. Regn. Anim., p. 415) is 

 merely in the French form Xyphicere, and as far as I can ascertain, he 

 never used it Latinized in any of his later works. Lamarck is the first 

 author I have found who Latinized the name, Xiphicera dating from him 

 (Anim. Saus. Vert., II. ed., IV., p. 444, 1835). T ne form generally 

 quoted Xiphocera (Burmeister, Handb. d. Entom., II., p. 612, 1838) is 

 preoccupied by Xiphocera, Macquart. Dipteres, I., p. 279, 1834 

 (Diptera). 



Tropinotus, Serville. Orthopteres, p. 617, 1839. 



This name is generally quoted as Tropidonotus (Stol, Syst. Acrid., 

 p. 14, 1877), but the emended form is preoccupied by Tropidonotus, 

 Kuhl. Wagler's Nat. Syst. Amph., p. 179, T830 (Reptiles). 



Tettigonid^e. 

 Scho3NOBates, Saussure. Revue et Mag. de Zool., p. 209, 1859. 



Preoccupied by Sclixnobates, Blackwall. Ann. and Mag., Nat. Hist., 

 VI., p. 343, 1850 (Arachnida). In place of the preoccupied name, I 

 propose Anabropsis. 



Pseudancistrus, Bolivar. Artr. Viaje Pac, Neur. y Ort., p. 82, 1884. 



Preoccupied by Pseudancistrus, Bleeker. Ned. Tijds. Dierk, I., p. 

 78, 1863 (Fishes). I suggest Polyancistroidcs to replace the preoccupied 

 name. 

 Amaura, Brunner. Monogr. der Phaneropt, p. 247, 1878. 



Preoccupied by Amaura, Moller. Ind. Moll. Groeul., p. 7, 1842 



(Mollusca). The name Ligocathius is proposed to fill the vacancy. 



Grylliive. 



Aphonus, Saussure. Miss. Scient. Mex., Orth., ]). 466, 509, 1874. 



Preoccupied by ApJionus, Leconte. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 

 VIII. , p. 21, 1857 (Coleoptera). To replace the preoccupied name, I 

 propose Aphonogryllus. 



Dyscophus. Saussure. Miss. Scient. Mex., p. 43S, 1874. 



Preoccupied by Dyscophus, Grandidier, Ann. Sci. Nat., V. ser., 

 XV., art. 20, p. 10, 1872 (Reptiles). In place of Saussure's name, I 

 propose Dyscopliogryllus.
