Later citations: G. brevicoUis (Payliull), by Brull4, 1837, p. 110, not orig- 

 inally included. G. dubia (Gravenhorst), by Westwood, 1838a, p. 19, not 

 originally included. G. brevicoUis (Paykull), by Thompson, 1859, p. 29. 

 G. excusa (Gravenhorst), by Crotch, 1870, p. 219 (see below). G. bre- 

 vicoUis (Paykull), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 23; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 382; 

 not originally included. 

 Discussion : Gravenhorst cites the MS name Gynnvusa in notes under Aieo- 

 chara excusa, stating that the species had been named sinuata in the genus 

 Gymnusa by Karsten. The name sinuata v?as thus published as a synonym 

 of excusa, and Gymnusa is published as a rejected synonym of part of 

 Aieochara with the one species "sinuata'' included. The citations of 

 brevicoUis as genotype can be accepted only through the subjective syno- 

 nymy of brevicoUis and excusa and the objective synonymy of excusa and 

 sinuata.
