CHELIDURA. 



1831. Sltv., Ann. Sc. Nat., xxir, 36: uses this name for the first 

 time In a Latin foi'm for the single species aptera Charp. Pre- 

 viously to this the name has been used in a Gallic form (Cheli- 

 (loure) by Latreille, in 1825, in his Families naturelles (410), 

 where neither descriptions of any sort is given, nor mention 

 made of any species ; in 1829, in the 2d Edition of Cuvier's 

 Regne Animal (V. 173), he again uses it without species or 

 description, excepting to make it include " ceux qui sont 

 apteres "; the described apterous species at that time were ap- 

 tera, simplex and siniiata ■ — all congeneric. Serville therefore 

 used the name in the same sense as Latreille did in its Gallic 

 form, and aptera must be considered the type. 

 It has always been used since in the same way, whenever the 



species have been generically separated from Forficula. The group 



is confined to Europe and Madeira.

 CONDYLOPALAMA. 



1847. Siind., Forh. Skand. Naturf., iv, 255: proposed for a species 



called a(/!tis found in timber brought to Stockholm from Bahia; 



this is therefore the ty])e. 



The "provisional" description (the only one yet given) is very 



meagre and unsatisfactory; but in the possession of double-jointed? 



(tvaledade), blunt edged forceps it is certainly most peculiar. It is 



said to be extremely slender, destitute of both tegmina and wings, 



and to be probably a larval form; to have 3-jointed tarsi, 14-jointed 



antenna;, and the first joint of the hind tarsi large and oval. It 



is further described as greyish, with a black, smooth and highly 



polished mesothorax, and as 5 mm. long. It is not mentioned by 



Dohrn. 



•COPISCELIS.* 



1853. Fleber, Lotos, iir, 25 7: proposes this name for the Linnean 

 minor; but it falls before the earlier Labia (q. v.). Marschall's 

 Nomenclator contains no reference to this name.
