for this stepi Acanthia, Fabr., 1 7 7 r> , contained a heterogeneous assemblage, but it 

 was not till 1797 that Lutreille indicated littoralis and its congeners as the types of 

 the genus. It is, I think, indisputable that (1) Acanthia was not broken up, nor 

 was any type fixed till 1707, and (2) that Latreille did fix the type. I therefore 

 see no alternative to adopting the name Acanthia for littoralis, as Renter has 

 already done in his monograph of the Paleearctic species." 

 CIMICINA (= CLINOCORINA). 



28. Cimex auct. = Clinocoris, Fall., 1829. As neither the genus name Acanthia 

 nor Cimex, as Kirkaldy has shown (see above), can be maintained for our common 

 bug, the one proposed by Fallen already in 1829 (Hem. Svec, p. 141), ought 

 to be adopted for it, viz., Clinocomis. Ou this point Kirkaldy, Nature, 1903, 

 p. 464; Entomol., 1905, p. 77 ; and Girault, Psyche, Journ. Cambr. Ent. Club, 

 xii, 1905, p. 61. The Pentatomid genus Clinocoris, Halm (1834), Sta.1 (1872), must 

 therefore be exchanged for Elasmucha, Stal. 



CAPSINA. 



29. Leptopterna = Miris, Fabr. 1803. Type : dolobratus, L. ! 



30. Therefore Miris, auct., nee Fabr. == Stenodema, Lap. 



31. Trigonotylus brevipes, Reut. nee Jakovl. = T. psammxcolor, Rcut. The 

 true T. brevipes, Jakovl., from the Steppes of South Eastern Russia is a 

 different species. See Rent., Caps, persicse, in Ann. Mus. Zool. Acad. Sci. 

 St. Petersb., ix, 1904, p. 5. For the British species, that also lives in great 

 quantities on Elymus and Psamma in the islands in the North Sea and the south 

 of Baltic, when it was still thought to be a variety of T. ruficornis, I proposed 

 the name of psammxcolor (Berl. Ent. Zeitschr., xxix, 1885, p. 45). Later on the 

 species has been described by Thomson as Miris elymi. 



32. Lopus, Spin, nee Hahn, auct. = Lopistus, Kirk., 1905. The type for the 

 genus Lopus, Hahn, is chrysanthemi, Hahn (= decolor, Fall.). See Reuter, Wien. 

 Ent. Zeit., 1906, p. 216. Kirkaldy has (I.e. 1905, p. 267) wrongly understood hier- 

 acii, Hahn (= thunbergi, Fall.), as such. The name Capsodes, Dahlb., 1850, which 

 was given to gothicus, L., may perhaps not be used for Lopus, Spin, nee Hahn, as it 

 was not accompanied by any description. 



33. Olobiceps cruciatus, Reut. This name ought to be maintained instead of 

 Jlavomaculatus. So also : — 



34. Globiceps Jlavomaculatus, Fabr., Reut., Saund., instead of selectus, Fieb., 

 D. and Sc. Puton has without any valid reason in his catalogue re-introduced the 

 wrong names that were already rejected. The types of Fabricius belong exclusively 

 to the species for which I have proposed to maintain the name Jlavomaculatus. 

 And the author, who next to Fabricius used the name, fixed it also for the same 

 species, " in floribus pralorum " common in Sweden. Whereas of cruciatus, Reut. 

 (= Jlavomaculatus, Fieb , Put. nee Fabr.), which lives on Salices, a couple of speci- 

 mens only have occurred on Oland. See Reuter, Rev. syn., p. 257. 



35. Macrocoleus tanaceti, Fall. = Megalocoleus pilosus, Schr. This alteration 

 has also been accepted by Puton. 



36. Onychumenus decolor, Fall. = Lopus, id. See above at Lopus = Lopistus. 



37. Agalliastes = Chlamydatus, Curt. Already in 1886 (Rev. d'Ent., v,
