326 RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



Genus Megametope, Fi/hol. 



Megainetope, Filhol, Miss. File Campbell, Crust., 1886, p. 373 

 (Xantho rotundifrotis , Milne Edwards). 



Gabrielia, MeCulloch, Rec. Austr. Mus., vii., 1908, p. 54 (Cyclo- 

 xanthus haswelli, Fulton and Grant). 



Megametope was published by Filhol only as a MS. name which 

 was attached to the type of Xantho rotund if rons 3 in the Paris 

 Museum, but the fact that it was definitely associated with a 

 species entitles it to stand as a generic name. Gabrielia, mihi, 

 is synonymous with it, while judging from Filhol's figure (pi. 

 xliv., fig. 3), G. haswelli,* Fulton and Grant, is very probably 

 identical with M. rotundifrous. 



Family MAIID^E. 



Subfamily INACHIN.E. 



Genus Naxia, Latreille. 



Naxia, Leach in Latteille, Encycl. Meth., En torn., x., 1825, p. 

 140 — type Pisa aitrita, Latreille (not Naxia, M. Edwards 

 = Naxioides). 



Naxia, Rathbun, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., xi., 1897, pp. 157-8. 



Halimus, Latreille, Encycl. Meth., Entom., x., 1825, p. 700 

 (uo type mentioned). 



Halimus, Latreille, Fam. nat., p. 272 {fide Milne Edwards). 



Halimus, Latreille, Cuv. Regne Anim., 2 ed., iv., 1829, p. 60 

 (type H. aries, Latreille). 



Halimus, Milne Edwards, Hist. Nat. Crust., i., 1834, p. 340. 



Kalimus, Griffiths, Cuv. Anim. Kingdom, xiii., 1833, p. 168, 

 (misprint). 



From the fact that Latreille definitely fixed Pisa aurita as 

 the type of Naxia, and as that species is congeneric with 

 Halimus aries, there seems to be no doubt that Naxia must be 

 used instead of the generally accepted Halimus.
