LIST or DUTCH ACARI. 63 



— Notas])is Koch, 1836, belongs to the Gamamles. — Notaspls 

 Nic. , 1855, cannot be kept, as Walker used this name already 

 in 1834- for H/jmenoptera. -- Koch created a genus Oppia for 

 Oppia glanciua Koch as type. This is evidently a larva of a Belba 

 {Bamaeus) , and therefore Oppia Koch is synonym to Bella. Now 

 Grube proposed for Nicolet's Notaspis the name Oppia of Koch. 

 So we have Oppia Grube 1859 (= Notaspis Nie. 1855). 



8. — The name /ydi^^^ww« Nic. 1855 cannot be kept, as Stephens 

 used already this name for Coleoptera , in 1831, Chevrolat in 1837 

 for Coleoptera too, and Victor in 1839 for Mp-iapoda. 



9. — The name Cepheus Nic, 1855, cannot be kept, as Koch 

 used this name already in 1836, with Cepheus latus Ys^octì. as type. 

 Nicolet changed the name Cepheus of Koch without any reason 

 into Tegeocranns , and the name of the type Cepheus latus Koch 

 into Tegeocranus cepheifonnis ! Not satisfied with such bungling he 

 created a new genus with the name of Cepheus , and even gave to 

 one of the species the name of Cepheus latus!!! 



10. Von Heyden created in IS'iô the genus Belba îor Notaspis 

 corynopus Herm. as type. I do not know this species by own 

 observation , but most probably it belongs to the same genus as 

 Bamaeus auritus Koch, the type of the genus Damaeus Koch. 

 In this case the name of Dainaeus Koch is synonym to Belha 

 Heyd. — As Damaetis auritus Koch is a species with one claw , 

 Canestrini and Fanzago are wrong in giving the name of Belba 

 to species with one claw , and Bamaeus to those with three 

 claws. 



11. — Von Heyden in 1826 created a genus Liodes for No- 

 taspis theleproctus Herm. as type. Michael calls this species 

 Nothrus theleproctus. I do not know this species by own ob- 

 servation, but if Michael is right in considering this species to be 

 a Nothrus, the name of Zior/é?.? should be rehabilitated, aocià Nothrus 

 Koch 1836 is only a synonym of it. As Notaspis theleproctus 

 Herm. has thick legs and an oval body , not a quadrangular one, 

 I should like to place it into the genus Hermamiia Nic. But in this 

 case Hermaunla Nic, should be a synonym of Liodes Von Heyden.
