* Types of the new forms are apparently not designated ; but the lists 

 of material examined furnish indications of the specimens on which the 

 descriptions are mainly based. 



t In the original description of monticola Nehring mentions two 

 specimens : (a) from Bosnia, and (h) from Herzegovina. Neither is desig- 

 nated as type. As a is young and h adult, and Nehring expressly notes 

 that the characters of the species are particularly well shown by b, I 

 assumed (p. 894) that b should be regarded as the type. Mehely states 

 (p. 121) that a is the type of monticola. He bases his description of 

 hercegovinetisis on Nehring's specimen b exclusively.
