Germs ELASMUCHA. 



Elasmostethus (vol. i, p. 326). 



Cliuocoris, Oshan. Verz. Palrearkt. Hem. i, p. 170 (1906). 



Elasmucha, Benjr. Ent. News, xviii, p. 49 (1907). 



In volume i, p. 326, I followed the synonymy of Lethierry & 

 Seven M for the genus Elasmostethus. In 1906 Oshanin substituted 

 the name of Clinocoris, Hahn, as taking precedence. In 1907, 

 Bergroth pointed out that Cliuocoris could not be used, " being 

 preoccupied by Fallen for the bed-bug." Stll's name therefore 

 takes precedence.
