262 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



ON THE NOMENCLA.TURE OF THE GENERA OF THE RHYN- 

 CHOTA, HETEROPTERA AND AUCHENORRHYNCHOUS 

 HOMOPTERA. 



By G. W. Kirkaldy, F.E.S. 



(Continued from p. 28.) 



I have made free use of my friend Mr. C. Davies Sherborn's 

 colossal ' Index Specierum,' &c., now in manuscript at the British 

 Museum (Natural History) to check my results in some in- 

 stances, and I am indebted to him for many valuable hints. My 

 thanks are due also to the librarians of the Zoological and Ento- 

 mological Societies, of whose kindnesses I have liberally availed 

 myself. 



In the immediately ensuing part, I have indicated from 1 — 4 

 sections under each work : — 



(a) genera with valid types ; (/3) genera without types ; (y) fixa- 

 tion of genotypes ; {^) notes on emendations of names, invalid 

 type-fixations, &c.^ I have much abbreviated the titles, which 

 can be easily identified from the usual sources ; " t." signifies 

 " type." " * " placed before an author's name signifies that I 

 have not been able to examine that work. 



1758-1843. 



• 1758. LiNN^us, Syst. Nat. X. 434-9. {fi) Cicada ; Notonecta; 

 Nepa ; Cimex. 



1762. Geoffroy, Hist, abreg. Ins. i. 401-82. (a) Naucoris, 

 t. cimicoides, nee L. [= maculata, Fabr.] ; Corixa t. striata, nee L. 

 [ = geoffroyi, Leach] . (/3) ^Fetigonia.^ (y) 'Cicada, 1758, re- 

 stricted. {^) Hepa for Nepa, 1758. V^ 



1764. LiNN^us, Mus. Lud. Ulric, 153. [{(3) Laternaria.]^ 



1767. LiNN^us, Syst. Nat. ed. xii. 1, 703-33\/-" (^8) Fulgora. 



1775. Fabricius, Syst. Ent. 673-732. (a) Sigara, t. striata, 

 nee L. [ ^= geoffroyi, JjeOiCh].'^ {^YMembracis ; Cercopis ; Acan- 

 thia ; Reduvius. 



1786. ScopoLi, Delic. Faun. Insubr. i. 60-1. (a) Ploiaria 

 t. doniestica. 



1787. SwEDERus, Vet. Ac. Nya Handl. viii. 183-5. (a) Macro- 

 cephalus t. cimicoides. 



1789. Olivier, Enc. Meth. iv. 24-5. {(i) Pentatovia. 



^ When once a type has been jBxed validly, I have ignored any subse- 

 quent invalid type-fixations. 



2 Not Tettigonia, as usually written ; the latter is an orthopterous genus. 



3 N.B. Cicada laternaria, Linn., 1758 — Laternaria phospJiorea, Linn., 

 1764 = l^M.Z^'ora laternaria, Linn., 1767 ;l^ Fulgora phosphorea, Linn. 1767, 

 is not a Fulgorid. The genns^aternaria is invalid, no description having 

 been given. 



* Homotypical with Corixa, 1762.
