Case 2653. Hapalorhynchus beadlei Goodman, 1987 (Trematoda, Digenea): proposed replacement of the holotype by a lectotype
Thomas R. Platt
Department of Biology, Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556, USA Abstract. The purpose of this application is the suppression of the type status of the specimen designated as the holotype of Hapalorhynchus beadlei Goodman, 1987, a blood fluke (family SPIRORCHIIDAE).This specimen does not conform to the original description or figure, and is an example of H. tchalimi Bourgat & Kulo, 1987. The specimen in the original illustration is proposed as the lectotype.

Opinion 1484. Trypanosoma brucei Plimmer & Bradford, 1899 (Protista, Mastigophora): spelling of specific name confirmed Proposed fourth edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature - a call for possible amendments to the third (1985) edition The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has embarked on the preparation of a new (fourth) edition of the Code and has established an Editorial Committee for that purpose. It is expected that publication will be in late 1994 or in 1995. A considerable number of possible amendments to the Code have been suggested and these will be examined by the Editorial Committee. The Commission invites the submission of further possible amendments to the current (1985) Code and these should be sent as soon as possible to the Executive Secretary, ICZN, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK. It is intended that proposals received by the end of 1989 will be discussed at meetings held in conjunction with the International Congress of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology (ICSEB) in Maryland in July 1990.

The William C. Campbell Endowment Fund The Harold W. Manter Laboratory, University of Nebraska State Museum, is pleased to announce the establishment of the William C. Campbell Endowment Fund for Visiting Scientists at the HWML. The Harold W. Manter Laboratory is one of three National Resource Centres for Parasitology in the USA. Specimen Collections of more than 80,000 lots include some 6,900 species and more than 1,800 lots of paratype specimens. The collections are world-wide in scope with emphasis on helminths of marine and freshwater fishes. The HWML is the repository for specimens deposited by H. W. Manter, D. R. Brooks, R. M. Cable, D. C. Kritsky, R. W, Macy, G. C. Miller, J. D. Mizelle, S. C. Schell, J. T. Self, F. Sogandares-Bernal and others. The library includes more than 53,000 reprints, 1000 books, and numerous journals. Parasitology holdings in the UN-L Libraries have been supervised by specialists beginning with Henry Baldwin Ward. The Manter Laboratory is provided with the appropriate equipment for collecting, preserving, storing and studying parasites. Visitors are always welcome, but those desiring to work at HWML should make prior arrangements. The William C. Campbell Endowment Fund was established by Merck & Co. Inc., when Dr Campbell was honoured with the 1987 Directors' Scientific Award for his contributions to the development of the avermectin/ivermectin family of antiparasitic compounds. Dr Campbell designated the endowment for a Visiting Scientist Programme so that the HWML resources can be shared with a larger number of parasitologists, enable individual research projects, and provide an even more creative environment at the HWML. Awards will support quality systematic research as well as innovative research based on specimens or specimen data, and normally they will not exceed $600.00. Applications for the following calendar year that are received by 1st October will be given priority, although applications will be accepted throughout the year. Inquiries and application forms may be obtained by writing or telephoning The Curator The Harold W. Manter Laboratory University of Nebraska State Museum W-529 Nebraska Hall Lincoln, Nebraska 68588-0514, USA Telephone: (402) 472-3334

Index-Catalog of the ticks (Acarina: Ixodoidea) in the world. Volume h The genus Haemaphysalis A. Estrada-Pefia This is the first volume of a series dedicated to compile all the references about ticks, taken from the literature on this subject, with remarks on their taxonomic status and that of their hosts, showing also their precedence. The whole project includes the following parts: Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10:
genus Haemaphysalis. genera Dermacentor, Anocentor, Margaropus and Cosmiomma. genera Rhipicephalus, Rhipicentor and Anomalohimalaya. genera Hyalomma and Boophilus. references to volumes 1 to 4. genera Amblyomma and Aponomma. genera Argas and Antricola. genera Ornithodoros and Otobius. references to volumes 6 to 8. iconography (distribution maps), additions and corrections.
In this volume the list of references on the species belonging to the genus Haemaphysalis is included. The information has been organized in three chapters. The first only includes the references in alphabetical order of the species of parasites, together with the corresponding synonymies and, if relevant, the different opinions of the authors who have worked on the subject. The references under the host's alphabetical order are shown next, together with their classification data, according to higher taxons, and details of their synonymies. Finally, references appear according to the geographical area of origin, organized on a country or sociopolitical unity basis. This series is published by the University of Zaragoza. Volume I consists of 932 pages and is available from: Secretariado de Publicaciones, Universidad de Zaragoza, 50009 Zarogoza, Spain, at $45.
