  type 
  mystacea 
  = 
  [Gorytes

  Whether 
  these 
  be 
  reckoned 
  as 
  genera, 
  subgenera 
  or 
  

   identical 
  groups 
  is 
  a 
  question 
  of 
  taxonomy, 
  not 
  of 
  nomen- 
  

   clature, 
  and 
  is 
  open 
  to 
  debate.

  Type

  Alysson

  Genus

  Alysson 
  Jurine, 
  1801, 
  and 
  Alyson 
  Jurine, 
  1807, 
  must 
  be 
  

   considered 
  as 
  potentially 
  difierent 
  genera.* 
  With 
  this 
  in 
  

   mind 
  the 
  determination 
  of 
  the 
  types 
  becomes 
  a 
  simple 
  

   matter, 
  and 
  allows 
  us 
  to 
  retain 
  the 
  names 
  in 
  their 
  long- 
  

   accustomed 
  sense, 
  substituting 
  Alysson 
  for 
  Alyson. 
  

  

  Were 
  we 
  to 
  look 
  upon 
  Alysson 
  and 
  Alyson 
  as 
  being 
  only 
  

   one 
  name 
  and 
  therefore 
  attempt 
  to 
  determine 
  the 
  type 
  on 
  

   the 
  basis 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  species 
  originally 
  included 
  in 
  Alysson 
  

   and 
  of 
  subsequent 
  attempts 
  at 
  type 
  designation 
  for 
  Alyson,, 
  

   the 
  matter 
  would 
  become 
  much 
  more 
  complex, 
  and 
  I 
  must 
  

   confess 
  that 
  I 
  would 
  feel 
  at 
  a 
  loss 
  to 
  solve 
  certain 
  questions 
  

   which 
  woul(i 
  arise, 
  but 
  which 
  need 
  not 
  be 
  detailed. 
  It 
  is 
  

   enough 
  to 
  point 
  out 
  that 
  the 
  method 
  employed, 
  under 
  

   this 
  premise, 
  by 
  Morice 
  and 
  Durrant 
  does 
  not 
  suffice,
