with H. parvula Ent. Ilefte and Qal. parvula Payk. as synonyms. Schonherr 

 (57) gives many synonyms, but some of them can be referred to other present- 

 day species. Thus, according to this author, H. piarvula E. H., Gal. parvula 

 Payk., Crioceris atra F., Galleruca atraF., Attica atra F., and Chrysomela pulex 

 Schr. are identical. 



Stephens (59), after the erection of his new genus Thyamis, described 

 Galeriica parvula Payk. under the name Tli. parmila, with H. parvula Ent. 

 Hefte as the only synonym. After this the literature, especially British, 

 contains many references to Th. parvula Steph. Thus, Curtis in 1837 (15) 

 uses this name ; Waterhouse in 1868 (62) sent the species thus named to 

 Kutschera at Vienna, and the latter confirmed the determination ; while 

 Janson gave this name to flax-eating specimens from "Ulster(61). Eedtenhacher 

 (52) was the first to adopt the combination Longitarsus parvulus, while 

 Foudras (23), using the generic name Teinocladyla Chevr., with parvula for 

 specific description, includes H. parvula Ent. Hefte, B. jmmila Illig., 

 111. loarvula Steph., and Z. parvulus 'R.QAt. as the synonyms. Allard (1) in 

 1860 also uses Teinodactyla parvula ; but here again Chrysomela atra F. is 

 given as one of the synonyms. Two years later the binomial L. parvulus 

 is again revived by Kutschera (44), with Gal.parvula Payk., //. parvula E. H., 

 Til. parvula Steph., Teinodactyla parvtda Foudr., and H. puniila Illig. as 

 synonyms. In the latest European catalogue (31) Longitarsiis parvuhos is 

 retained as the priority name, with piomilus Illig. and ater Leesb. as synonyms. 

 Tomlin and Sharp in 1911 (60) also employ the specific name parvuhis, while 

 in the latest work on the species (1913) to which the writer has had 

 access (28j a similar name is employed. 



The synonymy of the species is therefore : — 



Longitarsus parvulus (Payk.).
