Vernacular names: Vers de la Guadelouj^e, Vers de Bresil, the htematozoon, Lewis’s 
lilaria, Chinese filaria, Mucherer's filaria. 
In the foregoing synonymy I have included the names which are 
usually supposed to apply to the species in que.stion. It may be 
pointed out. however, that the possibility is not entirely excluded 
that some of the. names really apply to distinct subspecies, or possibly 
to distinct species. Is, for instance, the true F. hancrofti (type local- 
ity Australia) really identical with the Egyptian and the Brazilian 
worms which are usually classified in this species ( This point needs 
further study. 
In connection with the forms in question the names Filariose. 
Fuchereria. and 2IicrofJaria (see p. 46) come up for consideration in 
case F. hancrofti eventually proves to be generically or subgenerically 
distinct from F, rnartU. As I interpret these names. Filariose was 
originally used as technical term for the disease, and it was later mis- 
quoted as a generic name. I rather doubt whether this would be 
available as generic name from the date of its misquotation. ^Vachereria 
might be interpreted as a true generic name, although the possibility 
is not excluded that it was only used accidentally as such. 2RcrofJaria 
seems to have been proposed distinctly as a collective name for the 
embrvonic or larval stage and does not. I believe, have anv right to 
priority as a true generic name. There is, however, some legitimate 
room for a difierence of opinion on these points.
