10 INSECUTOR INSaTl^ MENSTRUUS 



preocc, 1856, Prod. I, 79. Named in honor of Dr. M. Bezzi. 



Dexia Mg.— Designation by Westwood, Intr. II, 139. BB's 

 sense is Dexilla Westw. Introduced to point out Coquillett's 

 misconstruction of Westwood. Changes the family name 

 Minthoidae to Dexiidae. 



Elachipalpus Rdi. — Genotype, EIvAChipalpus rondanii 

 Townsend, new name for Micropalpus longirostris Rdi. (nee 

 Mcq.) preocc, 1850, N. Ann. Sci. Nat. Bologna (3), II, 169. 

 Named in honor of Camillo Rondani. It is to be noted that 

 this species and the second preceding, also many others, will 

 stand as genotypes only in case the sense of the author of the 

 genus is adopted. 



Eurychasta BB. — The publication of this MSS. name (Muse. 

 Schiz. II, 63) as equal to Theria RD not only gave it nomen- 

 clatorial standing, according to Opinion 4 of the International 

 Commission, but also validated it for use in place of the pre- 

 occupied Theria RD, whose genotype it takes. 



Hermya RD. — According -to the sense of Opinion 6 of the 

 International Commission, Brauer and Bergenstamm fixed 

 Hermya afra as the genotype of Hermya by erecting Para- 

 phania (1889) for Ocyptcra diabolus Wd., of which Hermya 

 hottentota RD (the only remaining originally included species) 

 is a synonym. The literal construction of the opinion may not 

 accord. 



Leptotachina BB. — Genotype, Leptotachina braueri 

 Townsend, new name for Tachina gratiosa BB (nee. Mg.) 

 preocc, 1891, Muse Schiz. II, 26. Named in honor of Fried- 

 rich Brauer. 



Macquartia RD. — Rondani's designation (1856) of chal- 

 conota is invalid since he mentioned no originally included 

 name. Coquillett's designation (1910) by quotation is at 

 once excluded by his mention of two originally included names. 

 The genotype designated in the present paper accords with 

 Brauer and Bergenstamm's sense. 



Marsilia Monceaux. — This MSS. name, first published in 

 footnote to page 535, vol. II, Posth., can not be accredited to 

 Desvoidy but only to Monceaux, since the footnote was writ-
