* On page 157 of his "Thysanoures, Dermapteres, et Orthopteres de France et de la Faune Européene," Houlbert states that he considers it unreasonable to continue to classify the genus Sminthurinus Börner in a sub-family other than that to which it has given its name, and proposes, accordingly, that the genus Sminthurinus Börner be known henceforth as Smynthurella Houlbert Such an arbitrary change of name, however, cannot be allowed under the Rules of Zoological Nomenclature, and the name Smynthurella becomes a synonym of Sminthurinus.
