248 "^^ THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



(7). Thops, Gistel, p. x = Micropus, Spin. The latter is 

 not preoccupied in zoology, and is moreover a synonym of 

 Isdmodevms. 



(8). Hoplomus, Gistel, /. c. = Oplomus, Spin. 



(9). Amyctm, Gistel, I.e. = \\ Pachymerus, Lep. Serv. 1825 

 (= Pamera, Say, 1832). 



Among new species or specific names are : — 



(1). Nejja ingenicida, p. 149. 



(2). NaiLcoris brasiliensis, \. c. 



(3). N. iilana, 1. c. 



(4). " Cercopis harrisii, Gistel = furcata " [!] , p. 150. 



(B.) 



The following new names are necessary in the Fulgoroidea: — 



Kirhyella (Eutropistidas) =^ \\ Kirhya, Melichar, 1903. 



Synaphana (Fulgoridae) = Penthicus, Stal, 1870, 0. V. A. F., 

 xxvii. 742 (nee Blanchard), type variegata (Gaer.), and subgeu. 

 Ereosoma (=: Aphana, Stal, op. c, 741 (nee Burm.), type astrma, 

 (Stal). 



Guerin founded Aphcsna in 1833 with discolor, variegata, and 

 nigromaculata {rosea excluded because compared with discolor). 

 In 1835 Burmeister referred to the first two only, and in 1839 

 Spinola cited discolor as the type. The selection of variegata as 

 the type by Stal and others is therefore incorrect. 



Aphrodisias (Fulgoridfe) = || Compsoptcra, Stal, 1869, Berlin 

 Ent. Zeit. xiii. 236, type cacica (Stal). This fine species has 

 been omitted from the ' Biologia Centrali- Americana.' It was 

 recorded from Mexico. Compsoptera is preoccupied by Blanchard, 

 1845 (Lep.), a name not in Scudder or Waterhouse. 



Varcilla (Ricaniinse) = Varcia, Melichar (nee Stal), type 

 nigrovittata (Stal). 



[Varcia, Stal, 1870 = Aphanophrys, Melichar, 1898, type 

 Jdlaris (Stal).] 



Brackyceps (Issidpe) =: || Brachycephalus, Signoret, 1866, 

 type lucida (Sign.). 



(C.) 



The following Fulgoridse have been omitted by Distant and 

 Fowler from their homopterous contribution to the * Biologia 

 Centrali-Americana ' : — 



(1). Philatis productus (Amphiscepini), Stiil, 1862. I have 

 not Still's description of Mycterodus productus ; but it is probable 

 that Batusa, Melichar, is a synonym of Philatis, Stal. 



(2). Aphrodisias cacica (see above). 



(I).) 

 Copidoccphala (Fulgoridae), Stal, 1869 = Coanaco, Distant, 

 1887 (same type).
