I gladly accede to Eeuter's claim for priority. Though the 

 paper in which his genus was described is attributed to 1903, 

 it was only reported in the ' Zoological Record ' as published in 

 1904, the year in which I described Gismunda, and I had not seen 

 it at the time I described the genus and species.

 The remarks as to date of publication of the genus (supra) apply 

 also to the species involved.
