genus Cepheus (Deu. Gr. Myr. Ar. 3. li.) \v\W\ Cejìheus latus Koch. 

 as type, and this species belonp^s to the genus in question, is 

 synonym to Tegeocranus latus (C. L. Koch) (Das Tierreich p. 35). 

 Consequently the genus in question must be cahed CepJieus G. L. Koch. 

 — There is still another reason wliy this genus cannot be named 

 Tegeocranus Nie. ^ viz. Nicolet created the genus Tegeocranus , in 

 1855, with Tegeocranus f emor alts Nie. as type, and this species 

 does not belong to the genus in question ! ! ! — The type of the 

 genus CepJteus G. L. Koch is Cephens latus G. L. Koch. 



p. 43. The name Notaspis Herm. must be changed into Eremaeus 

 G. L. Koch for the following reason : it is true that Hermann 

 created, in 1804, the s,enws Notaspis , hut whh Acar us coleopfratus 

 Linné as type, and this species does not belong to the present 

 genus, as I have shown hereabove. — üugès (in Ann. Sc. Nat. 

 ser. 2, V. 1, p. 21, 1834) created a ^^enus Oribates with N^otaspis 

 castaaeus Herai. as type, but Orlbata is preoccupied by Latreille, 

 in 1802. — Then G. L. Koch created the genus Eremaeus (Deu. 

 Gr. Myr. Ar. 3. 23.), 1836, with Eremaeus iiepatlcus as type, 

 which animal belongs to the genus in question. 



p. 52. The name Damaeinae must be changed into Oribatlnae^ 

 as the type-genus Damaeus must be changed into Orlbata. 



p. 53. The name Damaeus G. L. Koch must be changed into 

 Orlbata Latr. for the following reason: Latreille created in 1797 

 (Lat., Préc. caract. génériques Lis. p. 184) a genus Acarus with 

 Acarus genlculatus Linné as type, but as Aearus is already pre- 

 occupied by Linné, with Acarus slro L. as type, Acarus Latreille 

 must fall. Latreille himself has been aware of this fact , for, in 1802, 

 he created the genus Orlbata for the same animal, Acarus genlcu- 

 latus Linné, as type, and he changed \\\s, genna Tgroglgplius (l^^iw 

 Préc. caract. génériques Lis. \l'òl).,yv'\\h. Acarus siro Linné as type, 

 into Acarus Linné, with Acarus slro Linné as type (Latr. Hist. 

 Nat. Grust. Ins. HI, p. 64, 1802). — Type of the genus Oribata 

 Latr. is Acarus genlculatus Linné. 



p. 61. The name Nothrlnae must be changed into Canilsiinae , 

 as the type genus Nothrus must be changed into Camlsia.
