17. Correa. (1) 



Fauvel, Ann. Mus. Genov. XTIL, p. 592 (1878). 

 Genus Aleocharae vicinum. Corpus parallelum. Caput multo 

 majus, magis proeminens. Mandibulae robustae, exsertae. Oculi 



(1) The name Fauvelia has been proposed for this genus by Prof. R. Tate 

 and adopted by Mr. S. E. Holder (Trans. Royal Soc. S. A. IV., p. 95) on the 

 ground that Correa is preoccupied in botany. As such a change is without 

 precedent and is contrary to the Strickland Rules of Nomenclature I have 

 retained the orginal appellation.
