THREE NEW GENERIC NAMES FOR MOLLUSC A. 



By Captain F. W. Hutton, F.R.S. 



I find, through the publication of the ' Index Zoologicus,' that 

 the following generic names, published by me for Land Mollusca, 

 have been forestalled : — Pyrrha, b}^ Cabanis in Aves, 1 849 ; 

 Carthcea, by Walker in Lepidoptera, 1858; and Bhenea, by Saal- 

 miiller in Lepidoptera, 1884. I therefore propose the following 

 names to replace them — Thennia for Pyrrha, Serphoior Carthcea, 

 and Del OS for Bhenea.
