 MICROGLOSSA Fauvel, 1SG6, p. 282. [Junior homonym of Microglossa Voigt, 

 1S31. Synonym of Nanoglossa.] 

 Genotype: Microglossa chilensis Fauvel. 

 Fixed iy : Fenyes, 1918, p. 23, by subsequent designation. 

 Syno7vyrns : ( See Nanoglossa ) . 

 MICROGLOSSA Stein, 1868, p. 24. [Error for Microglotta Kraatz. Not Voigt, 

 1831; not Fauvel, 1866.] 

 Notes : This spelling of the Kraatz name Microglotta has frequently been 

 cited as an emendation (of Mulsant and Rey, lS75a). There is no direct 

 evidence of emendation intent in any of the early uses, as: Stein, 1868, 

 p. 24 ; Bertolini, 1872, p. 46 ; Mulsant and Rey, 1875b, pp. 200-204 ; Sharp, 

 1883, p. 156. Champion (1887, p. 229) quotes both spellings, but after 

 20 years and several other writers this can scarcely be considered to 

 be emendation. Fenyes (1918, p. 23) designated a genotype for this name, 

 but as an error it requires none. 

 MICROGLOTTA Kraatz, 1862a, p. 300. [Synonym of Haploglossa.] 

 Genotype: Microglotta pulla (Gyllenhal) {Aleochara). 

 Fixed by: Kraatz, 1862a, p. 300, through objective synonymy with Haplo- 



glossa, of which pulla had already been fixed as genotype. 

 Later citations : M. gentilis (Maerkel) , by Fenyes, 1918, p. 23. M. puncticolUs 



(Stephens), by Tottenham, 1949, p. 402, not originally included. 

 Synonyms: {See Haploglossa). 

 Variant spellings : 

 Microglossa Stein, 1868, p. 24. [Not Voigt, 1831.] 

 MICROLATHA [Error for Microlathra.] 



MICROLATHRA Casey, 1905, p. 142. [Synonym of Pseudolathra.] 

 Genotype: Microlathra pallidula (LeConte) {Lathrobium). 

 Fixed by: Blackwelder, 1939, p. 119, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations: M. pallidula (LeConte), by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 311. 

 Syno7iyms: (See Pseudolathra). 

 Variant spellings : 



MicROLATHA Bemhauer and Schubert, 1912, p. 254. 

 Notes : The present disposition of this name is based on the study by Black- 

 welder (1939).
