Bell for Crustacea , so that still a new name must take the place 

 of Celaeno Grube. 



Epicrius Can. et Fanz. — Grube, 1859, described an Acarus 

 under the name of Gamasns reticulatns (Arch. f. Nat. Liv- , Ehst- , 

 und Kurl. (2), I, p. 474.). This species certainly belongs to the 

 genus Epicriiis Can. et Fanz. Hitherto I nowhere found this 

 suggestion in any work on Gamasides. A second species was described 

 by Kramer as Gamasus mollis (Arch f. Nat. 4876) which according 

 to Kramer's own assertion (Zeitschr. f. ges. Naturw. Vol. 51 p. 

 537, foot-note, 1878) is synonym to Epicrius geometrieus Can. 

 Fanz. (Att. R. 1st. Ven. Sc. Lett. Art. (5) IV. tab. 2. f. 4. 

 1877). According to Giov. Canestrini (Alt. R. 1st. Ven. Sc. Lett. 

 Art. (5) VII, p. (sep.) 8) Kramer however now wrote him that 

 his Gamasus paradoxus (Arch. Nat. 1876, p. 101) was synonym 

 to Ganestrini's Bpid'ius geometrieus, 1877. Haller too considers 

 Gamasus mollis Kram as a distinct species , and describes a fourth 

 species : Epicrius Canestrinii. My species is neither the one nor 

 the other. Since some other species are found, but as their 

 descriptions have not yet come into my hands, I am unable to 

 say, whether the mine is a new one, or not. 



Smaridia Dum. 1823. — Its synonyms are Bermanyssus Duces 

 1834, Ricinus Contabini 1843, and Gamnasus Bohnensieg 1873_ 



Celeripes Mont 1808. — Its synonyms are: Spinturnix Von 

 Heijden 1826, Pleroptus Dufour 1832, Sphiturnia Van der 

 Hoeven 1849, Pteroptes Gerlach 1857. 



I have not ventured to describe and denominate the species of 

 Gamasides, which I have not yet found described or figured in 

 the different works, nor have I given new names to the genera 

 that still wait for one, as I have not yet had the opportunity to 

 consult all the works on this subject.
