Mr, Tschitscherine has published in the Annuaire du Musee 

 Zoologique de I'Academie des Sciences de St. Petersbourg a ' Note 

 sur les Feroniens de I'Afrique Australe,' in which he describes two 

 new species and creates a " new group," for which he proposes the 

 name of Wahlbergia. Having already proposed this name for a 

 genus of the tribe Lebiides, and although some people might take 

 exception to a generic name being applied to a group, which, how- 

 ever, I take in this case is intended to mean a subgenus, I propose 

 to change Wahlhergia ajnoenula to Ahrodiaeta amoemda.
