A NEW NAME FOR NEBRIA VAN DYKE I 
DARLINGTON 
By P. J. Darlington, Jr. 
It is my painful duty to announce that the name Nebria 
vcmdykei, used by me in Psyche 37, 1930, p. 104, for a 
species from Paradise Valley, Mt. Rainier, is preoccupied. 
The preoccupying name is Nebria vandykei Banninger 
( Koleopterologische Rundschau 14, 1928, p. 5), which has 
been applied to a species quite different from mine, although 
from the same locality. I therefore propose the name 
Nebria yaradisi, nom. nov., for the species described as 
N. vandykei Darlington. I am indebted to Dr. M. Ban- 
ninger and Dr. M. H. Hatch for calling my attention to 
Dr. Banninger’s paper.
