SUBSTITUTE NAMES FOR SOME EXTINCT GENERA OF FOSSIL INSECTS*
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138
During the preparation of the hexapod volume of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, now in pressf, several junior homonyms were noted among the extinct genera. This seems to be an appro- priate occasion to propose substitute names for these homonyms. In those instances in which the authors are still living, I have already called their attention to the homonymy, with the suggestion that they propose names of their own choice. In some other cases replacement names are already available, through synonymy, and these are being proposed in the hexapod volume of the Treatise. Most of the homonyms, however, require new names, and since the current editorial policy of the Treatise excludes the proposal of new names of taxa in that work, the present article is intended to meet that need. It consists of proposals of new generic names to replace certain names that are not being taken cafe of elsewhere. The gender of each new name is the same as that of the original one. The names proposed here are in the orders Palaeodictyoptera, Odonata, Dip- tera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera. ORDER PALAEODICTYOPTERA
