1832: A. saltatoria by: DeLaporte, 1832, 52. 



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

 ences are undebatably definite designations of genotypes. 



1810: A. saltatoria by: Latreille, i8ioa, 259, 434. — 

 Westwood, 1840, 119.— Kirkaldy, 1909, xxviii (on basis 

 of Latreille, 1804). 



1835: A. littoralis by: Curtis, 1835, 548. — Renter, 

 1882, 301 (on basis of Fabr. 1803) ; 1908, 26-27 (o^i 

 basis of Kirkaldy, 1899, 218). 



1868: A. zosterae by: Pascoe, 1868, 94-95 (on basis 

 of Latr. 1802; 1804). — Kirkaldy, 1909, xxviii (so. 

 saltatorius) (on basis of Latreille, 1804) (chef de file 

 of Salda by Fabr., 1803, 113). 



1917: A. lectularia by: Van Duzee, 1917, 285 (on 

 basis of Fabr., 1803, 112). 



G. Conclusion: A. lectularia is type because it is the 

 first and only original species (Art. 306, a) of both Acanthia 

 and Clinocoris which has been validly designated as type 

 either of AcantJiia or of Clinocoris (see C). 



3. Clinocoris (Petersson ? in) Fallen, 1829, AcantJiia Fabricius 

 renamed hence both must have the same genotype. C. lectularius 

 is the only species which has been definitely designated as type. 



A. On basis of the original publication it is possibly a 

 debatable point but very doubtful whether the type is deter- 

 mined under (a) original designation, but it is not deter- 

 mined under (b, c, or d). 



B. C. lectularius is available under Art. 30 (e). 



C. Complications arise under Art. 30 (f) as Clinocoris is 

 Acanthia renamed. The following 7 of the 15 original species 

 of Acanthia are definitely excluded (under 30 e, a) from 

 consideration as type of Clinocoris, since Fallen (1829) 

 himself definitely excluded them by not including them in 

 C/wocom and by classifying them elsewhere : A.hetiilae (in 

 Aradns), A. cardui (in Tingis), A. corticalis (in Aradus), 

 A. laevis (in Aradus), A. littoralis (in Salda), A. pyri (in 

 Tingis), A. rugosa (in Aradus). 



C. Commissioner Stejneger holds another view as fol- 

 lows : The fact brought out by Dr. Stiles in the rewritten 

 Opinion, that Fallen, in 1829, simultaneously with suggest- 

 ing Clinocoris as a substitute for Acanthia, placed A. littoralis
