  the 
  Synonymy 
  

  

  I. 
  3. 
  [ALLANTUS 
  Jur., 
  1801, 
  and 
  auctt.] 
  = 
  Tenthredo 
  L. 
  

  

  Type 
  : 
  Tenthredo 
  scwphulariae 
  L. 
  By 
  designation 
  of 
  

   Curtis 
  (1839 
  : 
  764). 
  

  

  Since 
  Allantus 
  dates 
  from 
  the 
  Erlangen 
  hst, 
  Rohwer 
  

   (19116 
  : 
  218) 
  is 
  incorrect 
  in 
  making 
  togata 
  type 
  of 
  Allantus 
  

   and 
  therefore 
  synonymising 
  Emjphytus 
  with 
  that 
  genus. 
  

   Morice 
  and 
  Durrant 
  (1914 
  : 
  375) 
  have 
  correctly 
  stated 
  the 
  

   type 
  as 
  scrophulariae, 
  but 
  since 
  this 
  is 
  also 
  type 
  of 
  

   Tenthredo, 
  Allantus 
  is 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  genus.

  ORUSSUS 
  Latr., 
  1796 
  = 
  [Oryssus 
  Fabr., 
  1798]. 
  

  

  Type 
  : 
  [Oryssus 
  coronatus 
  Fabr.] 
  = 
  Orussus 
  abietinus 
  

   (Scop.). 
  The 
  genus 
  originally 
  described 
  without 
  species, 
  

   only 
  a 
  single 
  species 
  was 
  first 
  subsequently 
  included. 
  

  

  The 
  genus 
  must 
  be 
  attributed 
  to 
  Latreille, 
  1796,* 
  and 
  

   consequently 
  retain 
  the 
  spelhng 
  Orussus. 
  The 
  type 
  remains 
  

   identical. 
  

  

  6. 
  ASTATA 
  Latr., 
  1796 
  = 
  [Astatus 
  Latr., 
  1796, 
  erratum] 
  

   = 
  [Dimorpha 
  Jur,, 
  1801]. 
  

  

  Type 
  : 
  [Tiphia 
  ahdominalis 
  Panz.] 
  = 
  [Sjihex] 
  hoops 
  

   Schrank 
  = 
  Astata 
  hoops 
  (Schrank) 
  Spinola. 
  The 
  genus 
  

   was 
  described 
  without 
  species, 
  and 
  ahdominalis 
  was 
  the 
  

   one 
  first 
  subsequently 
  included. 
  

  

  The 
  genus 
  Astata 
  of 
  Latreille 
  is 
  valid 
  and 
  dates 
  from 
  

   1796.t 
  Latreille 
  printed 
  the 
  name 
  Astatus 
  (1796 
  : 
  114), 
  

   but 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  work 
  (1796 
  : 
  xiii) 
  states 
  : 
  " 
  Page 
  114, 
  au 
  

   lieu 
  di 
  Astatus 
  hsez 
  Astata." 
  We 
  can 
  therefore 
  hardly 
  hold 
  

   that 
  he 
  has 
  preoccupied 
  Astatus 
  % 
  Jurine, 
  1801, 
  a 
  group 
  

   of 
  sawflies. 
  Nor 
  can 
  the 
  latter 
  be 
  considered 
  as 
  estab- 
  

   lishing 
  species 
  for 
  Astata 
  Latr., 
  since 
  the 
  species 
  therein
