♦Subfamily MICROCLEPTINAE 



{zzPlectiscinae of authors and Catalog, pp. 341-345, Sup. 1, p. 56) 



Townes selected the name Microleptinae, from Microleptes, the oldest 

 generic name, for Plectiscinae of authors. Unfortunately, Microleptes is a 

 lapsus calami for Microcleptes. In Gravenhorst's original description, the 

 Greek word /jukpokXs-tv? was incorrectly spelled /j.iKpoXt'^TTTjs and ti-ansliter- 

 ated from the latter, but the meaning given was for the former, "fureni 

 rerum minutarum significante, quia hoc insectum minutum forsan non nisi 

 larvas insectorum parvorum aggreditur." Paragraphs (a) (ii) and (c) of 

 Article 32 of the International Rules apply here (see also Hopper, 1959. Ent. 

 Soc. Wash. Proc. 61 (4) : 166).

 Wash. Proc. 59 (1): 16), and place provisionally in *Microcleptinae after 

 Cylloceria Schiodte on p. 342 (Townes, loc. cit. supra). Change type citation
