Cor mere “4 Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-List. 443 
1821, p. 192; Java), because Tringa aurita Latham proves to have 
been based on a drawing of Actitis hypoleuca (Linnaeus). (Cf. Matb- 
ews, Novit. Zool., XVIII, No. 1, June 17, 1911, p. 7.) 
Calidris Illiger becomes Crocethia Billberg (Synop. Faunae Scand., I, 
pars 2, 1828, tab. A; p. 132; type, Tringa arenaria Linnaeus), because 
Calidris Mliger is preoccupied by Calidris [anonymous] 1804. (Cf. 
Richmond, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., LIII, Aug. 16. 1917, p. 581; Math- 
ews and Iredale, Austral Avian Record, III, No. 5, Dec. 28, 1917, 
p. 114.) The only species: 
Calidris leucophaea (Pallas) becomes Crocethia alba (Pallas) (Trynga 
alba Pallas, in Vroeg, Cat. Col. Oiseaux, Oct. 6, 1764, p. 7; coast. of 
North Sea), by reason of the change of the generic name Calidris to 
Crocethia (cf. supra), and the rejection of Tringa leucophaea “Pallas” 
as non-binomial. (Cf. Stone, ‘The Auk,’ XXIX, No. 2, April, 1912, 
p. 208.) 
Tringinae is recognized as a subfamily of Scolopacidae, to include Nos. 
253 to 259, 261, 263, and 264 to 268 of the A. O. U. Check-List (cf. 
Lowe, Ibis, 10th ser., HI, No. 3, July, 1915, pp. 609-616; Ridgway, 
Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, pt. VIII, 1919, pp. 147-149); but 
becomes Numeniinae, because Numenius Brisson, not T'ringa Lin- 
naevus, is the type genus of this subfamily. (Cf. Oberholser, Proc. 
Biol. Soc. Wash., XXXII, Dee. 31, 1919, p. 200.) , 
Helodromas Kaup becomes Tringa Linnaeus, because the type of 
Tringa Linnaeus is, by tavtonymy, T'ringa ocrophus Linnaeus. (Cie 
Mathews, Novit. Zool., XVIII, No. 1, June 17, 1911, pp. 5-6.) The 
North American forms will therefore now stand as follows: 
256. Tringa solitaria solitaria Wilson. 
256a. Tringa solitaria cinnamomea (Brewster.) 
257. Tringa ocrophus Linnaeus. 
Heteractitis Stejneger becomes Heteroscelus Baird (Rep. Explor. and 
Surv. R. R. Pac., IX, 1858, p. 734; type by monotypy, Totanus brevipes 
Vieillot); since Heleroscelus Baird 1858 is not invalidated by Hetero- 
scelis Latreille 1825. (Cf. Mathews, Novit. Zool., XVIII, No. 1, 
June 17, 1911, p. 5; Oberholser, ‘The Auk,’ XXXVI, No. 2, April, 
1919, pp. 278-279.) The North American species will therefore 
stand as 
259. Heteroscelus incanus (Gmelin). 
Charadrius Linnaeus becomes Pluvialis Brisson (Ornith., V, 1760, p. 42; 
type by tautonymy, Charadrius apricarius Linnaeus), because Char- 
adrius Linnaeus proves to apply to the genus known as Aegialitis 
(cf. Mathews, Novit. Zool., XVIII, No. 1, June 17, 1911, pp. 5-6), 
and Pluvialis Brisson is the earliest tenable name for the Golden 
Plovers. The North American forms are: 
271. Pluvialis apricaria (Linnaeus). 
272. Pluvialis dominica dominica (Miiller). 
272. Pluvialis dominica fulva (Gmelin).
