Jurine, in the Erlangen List (1801) published the generic 

 name Gonius without explanation, or assignment to it of 

 species. Latreille, in 1805 (HN. Crust-Ins. 13. 296-7) 

 stated that Panzer's figure 84'24 of PJiilanthus flavipes F. 

 represented a Gonius Jrn., but added that the real Philan- 

 thus flavipes F. was a different insect, figured by Coquebert 

 (111. Ic. Ins. 2. Pf. 13" 1). No diagnosis of Gonius Jrn. yet 

 existed, one however was given by Panzer in 1806 (Krit. 

 Rev. 176-8) a,nd flavipes Pzr. cited as belonging to it. In 

 1802, Latreille (HN. Crust-Ins. 3-336) characterised, though 

 without exponents, a genus Palarus, and in 1804-5 (I.e. 

 13. 296-7) stated that this Palarus was identical with 

 Jurine's Gonitis, and that Philanthus flavipes Pzr. belonged 

 to it. Accordingly, the generic names Palarus and Gonius 

 were provided with a common exponent simultaneously, 

 and in fact in the same sentence — ^they are therefore 

 absolutely synonymous, and one must be employed to the 

 exclusion of the other. Panzer, in 1806 (Krit. Rev. 176-8) 

 adopted Gonius, without allusion to Palarus, with whose 

 existence he was probably unacquainted, but all subse- 

 quent writers (except Jurine himself, Nouv. Meth. Hym.) 

 have preferred the name Palarus, following Latreille, and 

 apparently with reason, since Palarus Ltr. had been pub- 

 Ushed with a description as well as a Type by Latreille in
