generic nomenclature. Zetterstedt has adopted (1) Hirtea Fb. (1798) for 
Bibio Geoffroy (1764) ; Hirtea Scopoli (1763) being a different genus.— 
(2) Chenesia Macq. (1834) for Orphnephila Haliday (1831), or Thaumalea 
Ruthe (same year).—(3) Sicus Fb. (1798) for Coenomyia Latr. (1797); 
Sicus of Scopoli (1763) being Myopa.—(4) Eristalis Fallen (1810) for 
Chilosia Mg.; whereas Eristalis was first named and characterized by 
Latreille in 1804, while Eristalis of Fb. Anti. (1805) is made up of 
species of the genera Chilosia, Eristalis, Helophilus, Merodon, Mallota, 
Milesia, Eumerus, Pipiza and Chrysogaster.—(5) Syrphus Fallen, for Eris¬ 
talis Latr.; Meigen having defined the genus Syrphus otherwise in 1803, 
and Syrphus of Fb. Anti, including Volucella and Sericomyia along with 
part of Eristalis.—(6) Scseva Fb. (1805) for Syrphus, previously applied 
by Meigen as above.—(7) Scatomyza Fallen (1810) for Scatophaga Mg. 
(1803)—and (8) Scatophaga Fallen for Psila Mg. (1803), being four years 
before Jurine applied the name of Psilus to the Hymenopterous genus 
Diapria Latr. (1797).—(9) Oxyrhina Mg. (1838) for Trigonometopus 
Macq. (1835).—(10) UlidiaMg. (1826) for Mosillus Latr. (1804), orChry- 
somyza Fallen (1817). But Ulidia also may be retained, being limited, 
according to Loew’s suggestion (Beytr. i. 27), to U. erythrophthalma and 
the allied species. 
Here we close the chapter of criticism ; and if we should seem to have 
discharged the task in a spirit more captious than tolerant, the volumes on 
which we have dwelt so long do not need, and could not gain by, any com¬ 
mendation we might bestow, while every correction, and every doubt, may 
contribute in some small degree to their better use, which we would desire 
to see more general in the hands of our fellow-students. We lay them 
down, glad to see that the latest portions of his long labours betray no 
symptoms of failing eyes or energy diminished, and hoping that the vene¬ 
rable author, now in his seventieth year, may be enabled, next, to complete 
a like history of the Hemiptera of Sweden, which we are authorized to 
expect from his hand.—A. H. H.

This is a book by no means destitute of attractions. A thick, good- 
looking, royal 8vo, rather elegantly bound in green cloth, with wide
