Coquillett accepted Botanobia as the name to substitute 

 Oscinis Latreille, which had been erroneously used by authors as 

 the generic name for that group, the type of which he indicates as 

 given above. Presumably, he did so because the name appears 

 first in Lioy's paper, though it has only line priority over the one 

 adopted in 1911 by Enderlein, as indicated at the beginning of 

 these notes.

The above synonymy is in accordance with facts ascertained 

 from a comparison of American and European material.

Through Becker disregarding Lioy's work, he did not recog- 

 nize the fact that that author had clearly defined this genus, and 

 cited as the type of his genus Notonaulax one of the two species 

 Lioy included in Tricimba. 



This genus occurs in America. The species described as 

 trisiiJrata by Adams (Ent. News, Vol. 16, 1905^ p. Ill) belongs 

 here.

During the summer of 1912 a series of specimens of a Ptero- 

 nialid were reared by the writer from cocoons of Cladius pectini- 

 cornis Fourcr. They were found to run readily to the genus
