(given to an hymenopterous insect in 1S04). Cabanis was 

 aware of the fact and changed the name in 1S62 to Ceophloeus, in 

 which genus he placed I i neat us. scapularis, erythrops, and 

 pileatus, with the first mentioned as 'typus generis.' The fol- 

 lowing year, however, he separated pileatus from the others, 

 bestowing upon it the name Phloeotomus. As Mr. Ridgwav 

 has convinced me, pileatus and lineatus are strictly congeneric, 

 and, consequently, the generic appellation of the latter applies 

 as well to the former.

At first sight it might seem as if Malherbe's Dryopicos would 

 be available, but a closer investigation shows that this author 

 only emended Boie's Dryobates and Swainson's Dryotomus to 

 suit his new nomenclature, in which all the four-toed Wood- 

 peckers had names ending in l picus' or 'picas' ( !). The two 

 generic names just referred to have expressly martius for type, 

 and Dryopicos may therefore be considered as having the same 

 type.
