LIST OF TYPE SPECIES OF CHALCID-FLJES. 3

 cation of Insects, vol. 2, 1840. Synopsis of the Genera of British Insects. 



In a series of privately published pamphlets, A. A. Girault has 

 proposed a number of generic and many specific names. In many 

 cases the descriptions accompanying these names are short and un- 

 satisfactory, but sufficient to validate the names under ordinary cir- 

 cumstances of publication. The pamphlets were distributed by 

 Girault to several libraries and individuals, and advertised for sale 

 by him, while the names were sent, in some instances, to economic 

 workers and others by whom they have been used in papers dealing 

 with the host insects. Type specimens of the species are extant, 

 many of them in the United States National Museum collection. 



Although believing that new zoological names should be proposed 

 through publication in some scientific journal or other recognized 

 medium of publication, and deprecating especially their publication 

 in a manner such as here indicated, the writers can find no sufficient 

 grounds for refusing to recognize as valid the names in question. 

 Accordingly they have been included in this catalogue with a cita- 

 tion to the title of the paper in which the description occurs and 

 the words " Privately published " in parentheses following the title. 



Following is a complete list of titles, so far as known, of these 

 privately published pamphlets :
