Now I think this is the same as « I consider acarus coleoptratus 

 of Linné as type of my genus Notaspls. » And as Linné's description 

 of his Acarus coleoptratus fits perfectly on Orlhates ovalis Koch 

 [punctata Nie.) (ìiicoletii Beri.), one of the species of the genus 

 in question, I consider Notaspls Herm. as the oldest name of this 

 genus. Type of this genus is Acarus coleoptratus Linné. 



p. 26. Most probably the name Serrarimae will soon be changed 

 into Gustavilnae , as the type-genus Serrarius most probably will 

 be changed into Gustavia. 



p. 26. The name Serrarius Michael, 1883, most probably will 

 soon be changed into Gicstavia Kram., 1879, for in ray opinion 

 Gustavia sol Kram is the nymph of a Serrarius, but this must 

 still be proved by breeding one of the species of Serrarius. 



p. 28. The name Notaspullnae must be changed into Eremaelnae.^ 

 as the name of the type-genus Notaspls must be changed into 

 Ei'emaeus. 



p. 31. The name Cepheus C. L. Koch must be changed into 

 Kochla Oudms. for the following reasons : Koch, it is true, created 

 a genus Cepheus, in 1836, (Deu. Cr. Myr. Ar. 3. 11.), but with 

 Cepheus latus Koch as type , and this animal does not belong to the 

 genus in question!!! Nicolet, in 1855, again created a genus 

 Cepheus , but with Notaspls tegeocranus Herrn, as type , an animal 

 which belongs to the genus in question , but as the name Cepheus 

 is preoccupied by Koch , Cepheus Nie. must fall. — Grube created 

 a genus Pelonla, in 1859, (Arch. Nat. Liv.- Esthl.- und 

 Kurl. ser. 2, v. 1, p. 464) with Peloida /ollosa Grube as type, 

 but as we hitherto don't know whether this animal is a nymph 

 of a (n I/lacarusy), or of a « Cejjheusy> or of a « Tegeocranus 1>, this 

 name remains out of consideration. — Therefore I propose the 

 name Kochla to replace Cepheus C. L. Koch , or better said to 

 replace Cepheus Nie. — The type of the genus Kochla consequently 

 is ISotaspis tegeocranus Herm. 



p. 33. The name Tegeocranus Nie. must be changed into Cepheus 

 C. L. Koch, for the following reason: Koch created, in 1836, the
