Pamera was instituted expressly to replace the preoccupied 

 "Pacliymera" (sic!) of Lepeletier and Serville.* The type will 

 then be, not any of the 8 species newly described by Say, but one 

 of the original species of Pachy merits. As, to the best of my 

 knowledge, no type has been thus selected, I now choose pedester 

 Linne. Aphanas Laporte, published later in the same year (i. e. 

 1832), was also erected to supersede the preoccupied Pachymer- 

 us, and I have previously shown the type to be pedester. Ptochi- 

 omera was erected as a su1)genus of Pant era. but was not de- 

 scribed.
