Some Corrections in Names of South American Tetriginae (Orth.). 



In a paper on South American Tetriginae by Bruner,* a few correc- 

 tions of names are made necessary through an oversight of literature.f 

 Some of these names with their proposed changes are as follows : The 

 genus Lophotettix Bruner, 1. c, p. 137, is preoccupied by Hancock's 

 name of the same spelling, previously applied to a genus of South 

 American Tetriginae, recorded in the Transactions of the Entomolpg- 

 ical Society of London, p. 388, 1907. In place of Bruner's Lophotettix 

 I suggest the name Eutettigidea, the type being E. lineatus Bruner. 

 The type of the original Lophotettix Hanc, as already recorded, is 

 L. brevicristatus Hancock. 



Under the genus Gladiotettix Hanc, Bruner notes three species, 

 namely: tiirgida Bol., unicristata Hanc, and hancocki Bruner. The 

 two latter species belong to the genus Lophotettix Hanc, the species 

 Gladiotettix hancocki Brun. being synonymous with the previously 

 described Lophotettix alticristatus Hancock. The genus Gladiotettix 

 Hanc. is restricted at present to one species, G. turgidus Bolivar. 



The genus Halmatettix Hanc. is not mentioned by Bruner in this 

 article, but he has plainly described it under the new name Apteropedon 

 which necessarily falls as a synonym. Bruner's Apteropedon apicale, 

 which forms his type, is also synonymous with the previously described 

 Halmatettix cristinotus Hancock. 



Under the genus Sclerotettix, 1. c, p. 104, Bruner described five 

 species. He has designated as the type his second species, 5". tibialis 

 Brun. The first species mentioned, S. abbreznattis Brun., appears ftom 

 the description to be synonymous with Crimisiis lobatns Hancock. It 

 is also quite likely that he has confused the species S. infuscatus Brun. 

 and .S". minor Brun. with Micronotus asperulus Bol. and Micronotus 

 dubius Hanc. respectively. 



The genus Prototettix Bol., preoccupied, now Liotcttix Bol., as given 

 by Bruner, 1. c, p. 122, is. confined to Africa. It should be replaced by 

 Rytinatettix Hanc. for the species he characterizes from South .Amer- 

 ica. — J. L. Hancock, Chicago, Illinois.

t It is owing to Bruner's admitted oversight of my paper in the 

 Trans. Ent. Soc Lond., pp. 387-426, 1907, that the present corrections 

 are suggested.
