Van Duzee (1917) was inconsistent ; he accepted Sciocorides A. & S. but not Sehirides A. & S. To bring the work into Ime with current usage, the equivalent names used by Van Duzee (1917), Stichel (1935) and Poisson (1951), as well as those of China (1943), are given ; the last-named classification has, for convenience, been followed except for one change. Although no official ruling has been given by the Commission it is anticipated that the original author of a group shall be cited at no matter what level—tribal, subfamilial or familial—the group is suhsequenthj placed by taxonomists. Thus Pentatomoidea Leach, Penta- tomidae Leach, Pentatomini Leach are considered here as correct. The old method seems to have been arbitrary : Stichel (1935) cites Miridoidaria Stichel, Miridae Dohrn 1859. Mirinae Renter 1910, Mirini Renter, 1875 ; the oldest group name, Mirides Hahn (1831), not originally conceived as vernacular, has been overlooked by Stichel and it would appear that Hahn should be cited as the author of all these groups. The advantages of the method used here are : (1) its simplicity ; (2) the retention of the original author's name through all the later vicissitudes spUtting or lumping, upgrading or downgrading, of the group during the subsequent development of taxonomic theory and practice ; (3) the strict parallel with the rules on generic nomenclature ; (4) its compliance with the International Rules as far as they have been formulated on the subject of group-names. 21JUL1953.
