NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF THE MYRIAPODA.* 

 By Charles Harvey Bollman. 



1. POLYZONIINiE. 



1841. — Omatopliora Brandt. Recueil, 49. 



1872. — Platydesmiens. Miss. Scientif. Mex., Zool.,vi, 199. 



1884. — Platydesmia (Sanss. (?) ) Latzel. Myr. Ost. Uugar. Monarch., n, 356. 



Placing- Siphonophora and its allies in a separate subfamily leaves the 

 remaining genera as a similar group to which we must give the name 

 Polyzoniin^e, because it contains the type of the family Polyzoniidce. 



2. SlPHONOPHORINffi. 



^O.—TypMogena Brandt. Recueil, 50. 

 1844. — Siphonophoi-idw Newport. Trans. Linn. Soc, 278. 

 1869. — Andrognathidw Cope. Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, 182. 

 1884. — Dolisienia Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., n, 362. 



Many writers have seen fit to detash Siphonophora from related 

 genera, and to make of it a separate family or subfamily. As no char- 

 acters of importance exist except those drawn from the form of body, 

 it seems best, therefore, to give it the rank of a subfamily only. 



To place Andrognathus Oope in this subfamily makes the number of 

 segments valueless as a subfamily character. 



3. Andrognathus. 



1869. — Andrognathus Cope. Proc. Atner. Philos. Soc, 182 (corticarius). 



1875. — Dolistenus Fanzago. Atti Soc. Veu. Trent. Sci. Nat., 62 (savii). 



1884. — Dolichostenus Latzel. Myr. Ost. Ungar. Monarch., n, 68 (emendation). 



1884. — Dolysienus Berlese. Acari, Myr. & Scorp. Ital., Fas. xir, No. 2 (emendation). 



A careful comparison of Andrognathus aud Dolistenus has shown that 

 the two genera are inseparable, and the latter must stand as a syno- 

 nym of Andrognathus. 



Dr. Berlese has used his emendation of Dolistenus in all his works, 

 while Dr. Latzel's only occurred in a foot-note, and was intended to 

 show how Dolistenus should be spelled according to its derivation. 



4. Polyzonium. 



1834. — Polyzonium Brandt. Oken's Isis, 704 (germanicum). 



1836. — Platyulus Gervais. Bull. Soc Phil. Paris, 71 (audouini— germanicum). 



1839. — Leiosoma Victor. Bull. Nat. Moscow, 44, pi. I (rosea=? 'germanicum).

 in character, it is helieved to contain matter of sufficient importance to warrant
