IlYPKOriiiLUS, D. & S., Brit. Ilem., i, 208 (1865). 



Tliis generic name having been employed before, Sypnolius ia now proposed as 

 a substitute. 



PACHTSIEEra. 



In the Oef. k. vet. Ak. Forh., 57, 47 (1872), Professor Stal has revived the name 

 Pachym^rus, St. F. & Serville, for a genus of LygcBina, but Amyot & Serville in their 

 " Hist. nat. des Insectes — Hdmipteres," p. 253 (1843), expressly gave up the name 

 created by St. Fargeau & Serville in the Enc. Meth., x, 322 (1827), because, as they 

 Bay, of its previous employment by Latreille (1817) for a genus of Coleoptera, and 

 they adopted Rhyparochromiis, Curtis, instead. Tlie name, however, appears to have 

 been first used by Thunberg in 1805 for a genus of CurcuUonidce, and, if it is now to 

 bo restored, it ought surely to bo given to some of its first owners, not being eligible 

 for Uemiptera. 



TINGIDIXA. 



In the " Enumeratio Hemipterorum," iii, 122 (1873), Professor Stal has substi- 

 tuted, on the gi'ound of priority, the generic name "Acaltpta," Westwood, Introd., 

 ii, Syn. Gen., 121 (1840), for OBinoSTiEA, Fieb., Ent. Monog., 29 & 46 (1844), but 

 this cannot stand, for Schouherr had employed Acali/ptus, in Curculionidm, in 1836.

Kirschb., Caps., 89, 121 & 156, 21 (1855). 

 Our opinion as to this insect being distinct from L. chloropterus, Kirschb., was 

 confirmed by Fieber, to whom we sent some males. Evidently he did not know this 

 sex, and it is somewhat singular that Kirschbatun omitted in his description one of 

 the principal characters of identity, namely, the dark streak down the clavus and 

 inner margin of the corium. All the females we have taken in company with L. 

 hicolor are certainly referable to L. chloropterus, in favour of which wo now sink the 

 former name. 



Maceocoleus Hardti, Bold, Nat. Hist. Trans., Northumberland and Durham, iv, 

 858, 69 (1872), = M. molHculus, Fall. 

 Bold's specimens sent for confirmation of his species being distinct from M. 

 Violliculus, were only the last named in very fine condition.
