suited from the use of the same name for a number of entirely dif- 

 ferent insects, and the work was undertaken in the hope of gradually 

 overcoming the difficulty. 



Since that meeting the committee has prepared lists which have 

 been submitted to the leading entomologists of the country for their 

 consideration and approval. All names which were unanimously ap- 

 proved were presented at the next annual meeting of the Association, 

 and those that received unanimous support by that body were ordered 

 printed in the annual report, with the recommendation that they be 

 used exclusively in all publications. 



In order to accomplish the object for which this work was under- 

 taken, it is necessary for all entomologists, publishers, editors and 

 writers to use the approved names, and all are urged to do so. 



The committee, at the present time, is Prof. Herbert Osborn, Chair- 

 man, Columbus, Ohio; Prof. E. G. Titus, Logan, Utah, and Prof. A. 

 L. Quaintance, Washington, D. C. Communications concerning the 

 adoption of names not already listed or suggestions should be sent to 

 the Chairman of this committee. 



The following, prepared on the recommendation of the committee, 

 is a complete list of the names which have been accepted during the 

 past four years:
