SOME GENERIC CORRECTIONS IN THE OPHIONIN^E. 



BY S. A. ROHWER, A. B. GAHAN and R. A. CUSHMAN, 

 U. S. Bureau oj Entomology. 



Tribe ANOMALINI = (NOTOTRACHINI) 

 Genus Anomalon Panzer. 



Anomalon Panzer. 1805, Fauna Ins. German., H. 94, p. 15. 



Type. Anomalon cruentatus Panzer. Monobasic. 

 Syn. Trachynotus Gravenhorst. 1829, Ichnn. Eur., vol.3, p. 713 



(nee Latreille). 



Type. Ophion foliator Fabricus. Monobasic. 

 Syn. Nototrachys Marshall. 1872 Trans. Ent. Soc/ London, p. 260, 



new name for Trachynotus Gravenhorst. 

 Syn. Ochlerus Gistel. 1848, Naturg. Thierry, p. xl, new name for 



Trachynotus Gravenhorst. 



When Panzer proposed Anomalon cruentatus in 1805 he estab- 

 lished Anomalon as a monobasic genus. Anomalon cruentatus 

 Panzer has remained in the literature as an unknown species. 

 The only note which indicates its identity is that of Gravenhorst, 

 1829, Ichnn. Eur., vol. 3, p. 720, where under the discussion of 

 Trachynotus foliator he states that he has received specimens 

 labelled Anomalon cruentatus Panzer and that this is a black 

 variety of foliator but he considers that cruentatus of Panzer is 

 different from foliator because the ovipositor is longer than in 

 the specimens of foliator which he had. By consulting the 

 figure of cruentatus given by Panzer we can say that this species 

 undoubtedly belongs to the genus Nototrachys, and from the speci- 

 mens and literature available we are inclined to believe that 

 cruentatus of Panzer is the same as or extremely closely allied 

 to foliator Fabricius. 



This information makes it necessary to consider Nototrachu* 

 and its various accepted synonyms as synonymous with Anomalon 

 Panzer, and to change the tribe Nototrachini to Anomalini.

 Genus Therion Curtis. 



Therion Curtis. 1839, Brit. Ent., vol. 16, p. 736.

 tion.

 vol. 16, pt. 2, p. 119 and 1-12. 

 Type. Ichm nnnni clrn/n/j!, .rus Linmeus. Monobasic.
