INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 5 



Townsend (1908-15), and Coquillett (1910). A designation 

 has been considered invalid, or at least doubtful, (a) when no 

 originally included specific name is used to designate the geno- 

 type, unless the name used is indicated in the context as equal 

 to one of the originally included names; (•&) when two or 

 more of the originally included specific names are so used, or 

 indicated in the context as equal to the name used. 



When a designation of a previous author by a name not 

 originally included is quoted in a purported list of genotypes, 

 and one of the originally included names is mentioned as 

 synonymous with that name, the quoting author, though not 

 specifically stating his intention to make a genotype designa- 

 tion, may reasonably be considered as doing so ; yet, since 

 some doubt may arise on this point, I have repeated the desig- 

 nations below in such cases. 



As to Brauer and Bergenstamm's designations, the writer 

 holds that they are valid when not conflicting with the estab- 

 lished procedure (vide Ins. Ins. Mens., Ill, 121-123) ; but, 

 pending decision by the International Commission on this 

 point, their designations are here repeated in cases not other- 

 wise covered, in order to secure immediate finality for the 

 same. In this connection, Coquillett has quoted a few of 

 Brauer and Bergenstamm's designations because they used the 

 word "Type" in connection with an originally included species, 

 not understanding that in nearly all cases holotype (or para- 

 type) was meant by them, as is evident from the context and 

 the statements made by them in their introduction. 



Designations 



In order to economize space, only the essentials are given 

 in the following list of genotype designations, the names of the 

 authors of genera and species being intelligibly abbreviated, 

 and the word genotype being understood to precede the species 

 designated. No synonymy is indicated, either generic or spe- 

 cific. This is all recorded in the literature, so far as deter- 

 mined. A few cases are covered by new specific names at the 

 end. The sense of previous authors is preserved so far as
