 Type, S. planiiiscula Stâl, 



Kirkaldy (Rep. Exp. Stat. Haw. Plant. Assoc, Pt. IX, p. 369, 

 1906) gives S. siibvittata Stâl. as type of this genus. This however 

 can Sv'arcely be maintained, for S. planiu^cula is the first species 

 described by Stâl, while the name S stibvittaia in any case cannot 

 be used, as Stâl himself (Ôfv. Vet-Ak. Fôrh., 1862, p. 495) has 

 stated that his subvittata is a synonym of depressa Walk. which 

 takes precedence.
