XIX.—Some new Species of the E caus. Family 
Pyrrhocoride. By W. L. Distant. 
Genus ODONTOPUS. 
Odontopus, Laporte, Ess. Hem. p. 87 (1832). 
Probergrothius, Wirk., n. n., Kirk. Entomologist, xxxvii. p. 280 (1904). 
A genus under the name of Odontopus was proposed in the 
same year (1833), according to Scudder, by both Laporte 
(Rhynchota) and Silbermann (Coleoptera), Kirkaldy (supra) 
giving priority to Silbermann and sinking Laporte’s generic 
name, for which he proposed the novelty o o ‘© Probergr Shee 
Allaud, however, in 1889 (Bull. Ent. Soc. Fr. p. xlv) had 
shown that Laporte’ s name had priority over that of 
Silbermann, for which he substituted the generic name 
Odontopezus, and which is now used in the Heteromera 
(Coleoptera). Consequently Kirkaldy’s name ‘ Probergro- 
thius” is.another synonym.
