This species belongs to the same group of Solenidte as the Medi- 

 terranea,n Sokn fitrlyilatus of Linnc, wln'cli formed the type of 

 Hection E of Eiainville's giiimn Solecurtus (1 824)*. His section A 

 hiid for type Solan radiaias Liru)., which belongs to the geiuis 

 S'diqaa Miildfeld (18ri)t. It therefore seems advisable to place 

 the present species inider the genus iMaclia^ which was descritKnl 

 by ken in 1835 J for the reception of HoUn slrU/daias. IJcir- 

 manusen § quotes vl/acAa as described by Oken in 1815; but I 

 have seai'ched in va,in in the 'Lehrbuch''| for any mention of 

 this genus, which sliould therefore date from 1835. Vj. A. S.
