26 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 73 



E. " Rigidly construed " (Art. 30g) the following refer- 

 ences are to be interpreted as citation of illustrative or char- 

 acteristic species rather than as selection of type, or at best 

 are debatable. 



1764: C.lectularius hy: Brunnich, 1764,82 (see also 

 p. 56).— Olivier, 1789, 25. — Lamarck, i8oia, 293. — 

 Latreille, 1804, 254; 1807, 136. — St. Fagean & Serville, 

 1825. — DeLaporte, 1832, 51. — Stal, 1873, 104. — And 

 many others. 



1834: C. jiiniperinus by: Burmeister, 1837a, 597. 



F. " Rigidly construed " (Art. 30g) the following refer- 

 ences are undebatably definite designations of genotypes : 



1804: C. lectularius hy : Latreille, 1804, 254; i8ioa, 

 257. 433- — Dumeril, 1806, 264. — Lamarck, 181 6b, 

 502. — Curtis, 1835. 569. — Westwood, 1840, 120. — Pas- 

 coe, 1868, 94. — Renter, 1882, 301. — Blanford. 1903, 

 200; 1904, 464. — Stiles, 1907, 67. — Apstein, 1915a, 

 158. — Van Duzee, 191 7, 285. 



1899: C. bidens by: Kirkaldy, 1899, 220; 1909, 

 xxviii (on basis of Fabr. 1803), 4. — Renter 1908. 



G. Conclusion. — C. lectularius was the first original 

 species definitely designated (1804) as type of Chncx in 

 harmony with Art. 30 and this designation is not subject 

 to change. 



2. AcanthiaFahr. 1775: Four species (A. saltatoria, A. litto- 

 ralis, A. sostcrae, and A. lectularia) have been selected as type. 



A. In the original publication, the type is not determined 

 under Art^. 30 (a, b, c, d). 



B. Under Art. 30 (e. a), A. saltatoria is definitely ex- 

 cluded as type since it was not an original species. A. 

 zosterae is not cited as an original species, and it was further 

 considered later to be a synonym of saltatoria; accordingly, 

 A. sosterac is definitely excluded as type. 



C. A distinct complication arises because of the renaming 

 of genus. Acanthia was renamed Clinocoris in 1829, hence 

 under Art. 30(f) the type of either, when established, be- 

 comes, ipso facto, type of the other. As a natural result, 

 no species which is excluded as type of one of these genera 

 can come into consideration as type of the other, and as 

 A. littoralis was definitely excluded from Clinocoris by the 

 founder of the generic name, this species cannot (under 

 Art. 3oe, a) become type of Clinocoris, hence (Art. 3of),
