AllHYNCHUS HEMIGNATHl. 361 



Note. 



Arhynchus hemignathi. 



In the 39th Volume (New Series) of this Journal, p. 207^ I 

 described a new Acanthoceplialon taken from inside the skin 

 in the neighbourhood of the anus of a Sandwich Island 

 bird, Hemignathus procerus. I suggested the name of 

 Arhynchus for this form, since its chief characteristic is the 

 absence of a proboscis. Recently both Professor C. Wardell 

 Styles and Professor A. Hassall have pointed out that this 

 name is preoccupied, having been used by Dujean in 1834 for 

 a beetle. I therefore now suggest the name of Apororhyn- 

 chus for the new genus which 1 described in 1896.
