Vol. 85, Nos. 5 & 6, May & June 1974 131 WILLIAM D. FUNKHOUSER (1881-1948) BIBLIOGRAPHY AND LIST OF NAMES PROPOSED J 2 Dennis D. Kopp, Thomas R. Yonke^ ABSTRACT: A list of the 83 papers by W. D. Funkhouser is presented. Also listed are the 428 new names and one new variety of the family Membracidae proposed in his works with a citation to the original description. Nomenclatural changes are indicated, bringing the Funkhouser names into accordance with Metcalf and Wade ( 1965) . The present confirmed location of the holotype is given, when possible. From 1918 to 1948 W. D. Funkhouser was the most outstanding student and authority on the family Membracidae. His determinations are present in most membracid collections throughout the world. His productive entomological works were interspersed with his responsibilities at the University of Kentucky ( 1918-1948) . At the University of Kentucky he was a Professor of Zoology and Head of the Department of Zoology. Later he was also Professor of Anthropology, Dean of the Graduate School, member of the Athletic Committee and representative of the institution on the Southern Athletic Association, member of many and varied social and civic clubs, and author of many articles and several books in the various fields in which he was interested. He was the president of the Entomologi-cal Society of America in 1940 and presided at the Philadelphia meeting that year. This paper will concern itself with only his entomological publications. After his death, his collection remained at the University of Kentucky from whom it was purchased by the USNM. Allen (1951) summarizes the content of this collection. Today the collection is housed as a unit at the USNM with the holotypes incorporated in the USNM Membracidae Type Collection. 2 Accepted for publication: September 2, 1973.
