Genus Odontopus. 



Odontopus, Laporte, Ess. Hem. p. 87 (1832). 



Probergrothiiis, Kirk., n. n., Kirk. Eutomologist, xxxvii. p. 280 (1904). 



A genus under the name of Odontopus was proposed in the 

 same year (1833), according to Scudder, by botli Lajiorte 

 (Rhynchdta) and Silbermann (Coleoptera), Kiikaldy (supra) 

 giving priority to Silbermann and sinking Laporte's generic 

 name, for which he proposed tlie novelty of " Probergrothius." 



Ailaud, however, in 1889 (Bull. Ent. Soc. Fr. p. xlv) had 

 sliown that La|)orte^s name had priority over that of 

 Silbermann, for which he substituted the generic name 

 Oih'ntopezus, and which is now used in the Heteromera 

 ((Joleo))tera). Coiisequentl}' Kirkal.l\'s name ^' Probtrg,o- 

 thhis" is another .synonym.
