Allen — AM/nets of ISoutli American Mcmiuuils. 185 



Another name proposed by Gray in the same work (CTriffith's 

 An. King. V, 1827, 228), is /Sicista, which has as its type and 

 only species Mks stihtibts Pallas, which is also the type of the 

 later tSmint/ms Keys. & Bl., 1840. The species currently re- 

 ferred to Smi/Uhifs will thus stand as follows: (1) Slcista suh- 

 ^i(7y^s' (Pallas); (2) ISicista concohir (Y^\\(ihn)\ (3) tSicista lathemi 

 (Thomas); (4) >Sieista flainix (True). It also follows that the 

 subfamily named Sminthina? must give place to Sicistinae.
