BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AND NOMENCLATORIAL NOTES 

 ON THE HEMIPTERA.— No. 3. 



By G. W. Kirkaldy. 



Although we have recently been favoured with Water- 

 house's * Index Zoologicus,' how much we are still in need of a 

 thorough revision of generic names is evident by the following 

 list of names not included in either Scudder or Waterhouse. I 

 have added various notes which appear to me likely to be of 

 use, and also a list of seventy-seven names, which must be 

 employed instead -of the same number previously used, which 

 were preoccupied. It is remarkable that a considerable propor- 

 tion of these come from the subfamily Membracinte (sometimes 

 raised to family rank), which has quite recently been mono- 

 graphed either wholly or in great part ; the authors, however, 

 did not, apparently, deem it necessary at the same time to 

 revise the nomenclature. 



I have completed a " Nomenclator Hemipterorum," which 

 may possibly be published at an early date.

 several nomenclatorial points.
