and that he (Fallen) knew only one species, But as this name was 

 not appropriate for the two new species that Meigen added, he 

 teils US that he changed the name to Ulklia (Syst. Besehr., vol. V, 

 p. 386). Article 32 of the Code states that „A generic or a specific 

 name, once published, cannot be rejected, even by its author, be- 

 cause of inappropriateness."" Thus Meigen was not justitied in 

 changing the name previonsly given to this genus by Fallen, and 

 it follows that Llidkt must be a synonym of FluisipJtora. 



1. Cordilura, and not Cordylara, is the correct name accor- 

 ding to Article 19 of the Code. In none of his later writings does 

 Fallen State that the former name was due to a clerical or a typo- 

 graphical error. 



2. Hendel is again in error when he states that the correct 

 n^me of the genus Ilefiaplitlialma is Megophtlialmmn. A change 

 of this kind would be in Opposition to Article 19 of the Code. 



6. The Statement that I proposed the name Chaetosa to replace 

 Trkhopalpus is erroneous. I founded the new genus on Cordiliira 

 pundipies, and simply said that Becker had wrongly included this 

 species in the genus Trichopalpus. 



12. Curtis' action in designating Mtisca subsultans the type 

 of Bovhorns is in accord wäth Article 30, letter r/, of the Code, as 

 amended at the Boston meeting. There is nothing in the amended 

 Code against designating the type of one genus as the type of 

 a second generic name. 



13. Hendel is correct in stating that Hdcropicm equals 

 Limosina and that its type is Borhonis pusiUns Meigen. In giving 

 the type as Gop^-omyza pasilla Fallen in my paper, I followed the 

 Katalog Paläark. Dipt. 



18. HeJeomyza is correct according to Article 19 of the Code. 



24. a) Westwood was justitied in designating Musca rihrans 

 the type of Orfalis, according to Article 30, letter .7, of the amended 

 Code. 



24. i)) Hendel gives the name Fsairoptera wrongly as 

 Fsacroptera^ 



25. Cephalia is not preoccupied by Cepluäeia ; the latter has 

 an additional letter. See Article 19 of the Code. 



26. Seioptera and Myodina are Synonyms of Ortalis. 



29. Hendel is in error in stating ihnt atuicac is the type of 

 Enr'tbia ; his method of ascertaining the type is not sanctioned by 

 the amended Code, and is in Opposition to Article 30. letter g.
