  Genotype 
  : 
  Hieroceryx 
  bilineatus, 
  Bol. 
  

  

  Though 
  Bolivar's 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  genus 
  is 
  four 
  years 
  older 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  Carl, 
  it 
  

   must 
  give 
  way 
  to 
  the 
  latter, 
  as 
  the 
  name 
  Hieroceryx 
  has 
  been 
  used 
  already 
  in 
  1896 
  

   by 
  Tosquinet 
  for 
  a 
  genus 
  of 
  Hymenoptera 
  (Mem. 
  Soc. 
  Entom. 
  Belg., 
  V, 
  p. 
  267).
