Later citations : B. occulta (Erichson) , by Thomson, 1859, p. 38, not originally 

 included. A. monticola (Thomson), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 21. B. occulta 

 (Erichson), by Scheerpeltz, 1929b, p. 239; 1934, p. 1603; not originally in- 

 cluded. B. testa cea (Erichson) , by Tottenham, 1939a, p. 226, not originally 

 included. A. monticola (Thomson), by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 393. 

 Discussion: The designation by Tottenham is an error for the genus Besso- 

 pora. Thomson dots not refer to Bessobia on page 37 as reported by Tot- 

 tenham, and no trivial name testacea has been used in Bessobia by anyone 

 other than Tottenham. This error was noted by Tottenham in 1940.
