CuANDA Ham., and the fixation of type for the substitute decides that of the 

 original name. Chanda nama is the orthotype of Bocoda BIkr., a genus well 

 dclined, A.mbassis wxwda being the type species. Swainson's second species, 

 Chanda lala Ham., which ho spells lata, belongs to Blecker"s genus 

 Pseudambassis. This was chosen as type of Chanda by Fowler, and still 

 later C. ruconius by Jordan, but Swain's choice of type must hold. 

 Hamiltonia and Bdcoda are therefore both synonyms of Chanda Ham.
