NO. 3 OPINIONS 82 TO 90 7 



" (i) Latreille's selection of vomitoria Fabr. as genotype of Musca leaves 

 it doubtful whether he meant one of the original 100 species or one which 

 was not among them, and 



" (2) Macquart in 1834 designated dotitcstica as type of Musca. It follows 

 that a suspension of the Rules is unnecessary. 



" Professor Bezzi is in favor of dojucstica being considered type of Musca. 



" In order to arrive at unanimity with regard to the genotype of Musca, it 

 would be advisable to add to Commissioner Stejneger's amendment after 

 'Musca Linnaeus 1758' the words 'without prejudicing any other case.' The 

 suspension of the Rules is tantamount to saying that vomitoria F. is vomitoria 

 L. This decision could then be quoted as a precedent in other cases where 

 the species is likewise doubtful."
