384 CHECK-LIST OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. 



Gallinula galeata (Lichtenstein), 1818, becomes Gallinula chloropus cackinnans 

 Bangs, 1915. 

 The South American GalHnule {galeata) is now regarded as distinct from 

 that of North America and the name cackinnans is used for the latter, but 

 as both are considered only subspecifically different from the European 

 bird and from each other they become subspecies of chloropus. (Cf. 

 Bangs, Proc. New Engl. Zool. Club, V, 1915, 96.) (p. 99) 



Aegialitis Boie, 1822, becomes Charadrius Linnaeus, 1758. 



The type of the latter having been determined as C. hiaticula by the 

 International Commission, the name becomes inapplicable to the genus 

 to which it had been applied and must replace Aegialitis. (Cf. Mathews, 

 Novitates Zool., XVIII, 1911, No. 1, 5-6.) (p. 103) 



Charadrius "Linnaeus," of the last edition of the Check-List, becomes Pluvi- 

 alis Brisson, 1760. 

 This follows from the last, Pluvialis being the earliest available name, 

 (p. 106) 



Ochthndrnmiis Reichenbach, 1853, Ijecomes Pagolla Mathews, 1913. 



The former is invalidated by Ochthedmiiius LeConte, 1848, and Pagolla is 

 the earliest available name. (Cf . Oberholser, Trans. Wis. Acad. Sci. etc, 

 XIX, 520.) (p. 105) 



Podasocys has been combined with Eupoda. (p. 105) 



Gallinago Koch, 1816, becomes Capella Frenzel, 1801. 



On grounds of priority. (Cf. Mathews and Iredale, Austral Avian 

 Record, IV, 131.) (p. 110) 



Niunenius has been divided and A^. phaeopus, tahitiensis, hudsouius and 

 borealis referred to Phaeopus. (p. 112) 



Hclodronias Kaup, 1829, becomes Tringa Linnaeus, 1758. 



The type of the latter having been determined as T. ocrnphus hy the 

 International Commission the name becomes inapplicable to the genus to 

 which it had been applied and must replace Hclodronias. (Cf. Mathews, 

 Novatates Zool., XVIII, 1911, No. 1, 5-6.) (p. 114) 



Tringa "Linnaeus,"' of the last edition of tlic Check-List, becomes Calidris 

 Anonymous, 1804. 

 This follows from the last, Calidris being the earliest available name. 



Calidris Illicer, 1811, becomes Crocelhia Billberg, 1828. 



The former is invalidated by the earlier Calidris Anonymous (above) and 

 Crocelhia is the earliest available name for the genus. (Cf. Richmond, 

 Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., LIII, 581.) (p. 117) 



Heteractitis Stejneger, 1884, becomes Heteroscelus Baird, 1858. 



It is held that the latter is not invalidated by Hctcroscelis Latreille, 

 1825, and being prior to Heteractitis must replace it. (Cf. Mathews, 

 Novitates Zool., XVIII, No. 1, 5.) (p. 115)
