CIRREPIDESMUS. 
think that C. veredus can be generically differentiated from C. asiaticus, and 
as Brandt proposed Eupoda for the latter species, I am using that genus-name 
for the former. 
As however some systematists may consider Eupoda preoccupied by the 
prior Eupodes (Koch, Deutschl. Crust, Vol. I., tab. 8, 1835; Jardine and 
Selby’s Ulus. OrnitJi., pi. 10, n.s., 1836), I propose for their use the genus 
EUPODELLA, nov., with C. veredus Gould as type. American authorities 
have often rejected names on account of prior names differing in one letter 
1 and 4^PAOOA QEOFFROYI. 2 and Z— EUPODA VEREDA, 
only, and under such conditions OcMhodro^nus is untenable on account of the 
prior Ochthedrmnus (Le Comte, Ann. Lyc. Nat Hist New York, p. 453, 1848) 
For the species Charadrius wilsonia Ord, the alternative name PAGOLLA, nov., 
is here proposed. 
My subdivision of the genus OcMhodromus of the Catalogue of the Birds 
in the British Museum would therefore be summarised : — 
Bill very stout and long, less than middle toe and claw ; metatarsus short 
and thick ; size large. Genus Pluviorhynchus ; species P. obscurus. 
Bill very stout and long, longer than middle toe and claw; metatarsus 
short; size medium. Genus Pagoa ; species P. geoffroyi. 
Bill stout and short, equal to middle toe and claw ; metatarsus short ; 
size small. Genus Ochthodro^nus or Pagolla ; species 0. wilsonius.
