typical genus may be already in existence which may be restricted to 

 do duty for the pre-occupied name, if the genus is found to be a valid 

 one ; but I have not found time at present to go into all the details 

 necessary to determine such cases. 



Where generic names are placed in the first column merely 

 because in Staudinger and Wocke's catalogue they are not attributed 

 to the original founder, or because they have been misspelt, they have 

 been indicated by italics. 



Although I have no predilection for this branch of Entomological 

 study, which savours too much of historical research, it can scarcely 

 be avoided if our lists are no longer to convey incorrect information 

 to those who have occasion to consult the present nomenclature. No 

 attempt is made here to exhaust the subject, further instances could 

 be adduced, and these notes are compiled with the object of urging 

 others to supplement them from time to time. For the same reason 

 I am not now suggesting names to replace those wrongly in use. This 

 I shall be prepared to do at some future date, unless the deficiency 

 should be supplied by other workers before my lists are completed.
