Aspidophorus, is also pre-occupiod by Lac^pede (Pisces, 1802). If we adopt Thom- 

 son's name, which is quite as objectionable as that of Ziegler, and for the same 



reason, it should be written Coniporus. Conurus, Kuhl, Aves, 1820 ; id., Steph.,

 1858), (Conura, Spin., Hymen., 1837). Conurus cannot be used in Coleoptera, 



Kraatz's name should be adopted. Corynetes, Herbst, Col., 1792 ; id., Hseck.,

Lioy, Dipt., 1864). Diglossa, Wagl., Aves, 1832 ; id., Halid., Col., 1837. This 



name being pre-occupied in Aves, it might, perhaps, be written Diglotta in Coleo- 

 ptera ; Kraatz having already used glotta instead of glossa in an allied genus {cf. 



Berl. ent. Zeit., 1862, p. 300). DoUchosoma, Steph., Col., 1832 ; tc?.,Huxl.,Saur.,

Elenchus, Humphr., Moll., 1797 ; id.. Curt., Streps., 1831. A new name is 



required for this genus of Stylopidce. ISryx, Daud., Eept., 1832; id., Steph., 



Col., 1832; tc?., Swains., Moll., 1840 ; iU, Aug., Crust., 1851. It is doubtful whether 

 the name has priority in Eeptilia or in Coleoptera, both having appeared in the same 

 year ; if the former, Frionyclms, Solier, could bo adopted, e. g., if Eryx be treated 

 as generically distinct from Cistela.

 has already noted that the name Lasia cannot be used in Coleoptera, and substituted 

 that of Huber, Subcoccinella (1841), for it ; the latter name is adopted in the second 



edition of Dr. Sharp's catalogue (1883). Leiosoma, Steph., Col., 1831 ; id., Chevr.,
