fact that it is a misspelling of the genus Callimenus Fischer von Waldheim and I do not believe that 

 misspellings should be perpetuated as valid names. That Callimus is a misspelling of Callimenus is made 

 clear b}' referring to the works of Fischer quoted under the above genus and to Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 

 Vol. 2, p. 3i8 (i833).

4. Genus DERACANTHA, Fischer von Waldheim

p. 177 (1906). 

 Deracanthiella, Bolivar, Zichy. Asiat. Forsch. Vol. 2, Zool., Ergebn., p. 240 (1901). — Type = 



Deracantha aranea, Fischer von Waldheim. 



Characters. — In this genus the eyes are very prominent and globose and thefastigium of the 

 vertex, instead of being broad and rounded as in the allied genera, is tubercularly compressed between 

 the bases of the antennae. 



The Gryllus ones of Pallas has been designated as the type of this genus, but as that species was 

 previously designated as the type of Callimenus it is untenable as the type of Deracantha. Were the second 

 originally included species, cinctus, taken as the type of Deracantha the genus would fall as a synonym 

 of Callimenus, cinctus being congeneric with onos, the type. Being desirous of retaining this old genus 

 Deracantha I therefore designate aranea as the type, thus sinking the recent genus Dearacanthiella of Boli- 

 var in synonymy. 



Type. — Deracantha aranea Fischer von Waldheim.
