Boriomyia Banks 1905, nec 1904. The name BoHomyia Banks was first used
in a list of the Neuroptera of Washington D.C. (1904, Proc. ent. Soc. Wash.
6: 209) where two species were listed, B. fidelis Banks and B. speciosa Banks,
but no description of the new genus was given. In the following year, the generic
name Boriomyia Banks appeared as a new genus with diagnosis (BANKS, 1905,
Trans Amer. ent Soc. 32: 36). The two species listed in 1904 were included in the
genus. Later BANKS erected a new genus, Allotomyia, for the two species originally
listed as Boriomyia in 1904. In 1937, KIWNGTON pointed out that Boriomyia
Banks 1904 was a valid name, since it included two previously described
species, and that Allotomyia was a synonym of that name. For the British species
standing in Boriomyia Banks 1905 he erected a new genus, Kimminsia, which,
however, has not been universally adopted. Recently, moreover, it has been
pointed out that if a new name is needed for Boriomyia Banks 1905, the generic
name Wesmaelius Kriiger should replace Kimminsia Kill. (NAKAIIARA 1960,
TJEDER 1961). In 1963 in order to attain stability in nomenclature, KIM-
MINS asked the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to place
the generic name Boriomyia Banks, 1905, on the Official List of Generic Names
in Zoology. This name will be used here.

Boriomyia mortoni McL [B. enontekiensis Klst.) Dr. KLMMINS has studied
the types of Boriomyia mortoni (McL) and confirmed that two species were
confused under this name by MCLACIII^AN. The types of mortoni are conspecific
with enontekiensis Klst, which thus becomes a synonym of mortoni Mc L.(Dr
D. E. KIMMINS in litt.).
Boriomyia nervosa F"". In material sent to me for determination from the
Museum in Oulu, there was a long series of this species, collected indoors during
the period 5—7.5.1963, which was very strange. I first thought that it would
be a species not previously known in Finland, and searched the literature in
order to discover to which species the specimens belonged. In a paper by NAKA-
IIARA I found a description of B. cinerea Nakahara, in which the figures of the
genitalia agree exactly with those of the specimens from Oulu. An investigation
of the genitalia of B. nervosa showed, however, that the specimens from Oulu
1)elong to this species, although they are much paler than the species usually is.
Perhaps B. cinerea and B. nervosa are conspecific. The only difference between
the figures of the genitalia of B. cinerea and the genitalia of B. nervosa which
I could find is that the paramere is more prolonged forewards in B. nervosa.
This part of the paramere is slightly sclerotized, however, and has perhaps been
overlooked by the author. Al Geta (AN), F'^instrom (AN), Ab Houtskär (AN),
