piilchricornis as a synonym of Hemiteles contaminatus Gravenhorst (1829), and 

 Perkins (1962) treated contaminatus as a junior synonym of tener by virtue of 

 page priority but did not state that he had examined the Gravenhorst types in 

 question.

Type-species: Mesoleptus nasutus Cresson. Monotypic and orig desig. 



The name Campothreptiis Foerster has been erroneously applied to this genus by Townes (e. 

 g. 1969) who has treated Mesoleptus nasutus Cresson as its type-species. Cushman (1919) cor- 

 rectly argued that it was Tryphon nasutus Cresson and not Mesoleptus nasutus that Davis 

 (1897) placed in Campothreptus. Therefore, Campothreptus is a synonym of Oedemopsis (which 

 see).

Mesoleptus? nasiitus Cresson, 1868. Amer. Ent. Soc, Trans. 2: 103. 6,9. The variant 

 spelling "nastutus" appears on p. 103, but it is anonymously rejected in the errata (p. 

 398 [1869]).

Genus OEDEMOPSIS Tschek 



Oedemopsis Tschek, 1868. Zool.-Bot. Gesell. Wien, Verb. 18: 276. 



Type-species: Oedemopsis rogenhoferi Tschek. Monotypic. The type-species is 

 considered to be a synonym of 0. scabricularis (Gravenhorst).

Type-species: Tryphon scabricularis Gravenhorst. Desig. by Viereck, 1914 from 

 three species included by Schmiedeknecht, 1888. 

 Campothreptus Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verb. 25: 201. N. syn. 



Type-species: Tryphon nasutus Cresson. By subsequent monotypy from inclusion 

 by Davis, 1897. Although Davis (1897) treated Tryphon? nasutus Cresson as a 

 synonym of Mesoleptus nasidus Cresson, his description applies only to the 

 former (see discussion under Zagryphus). Davis' error in suppressing Tryphon 

 nasutus as a synonym of Mesoleptus nasutus could only have been inadvertent 

 —i.e. I do not see how it is possible that Davis' error could have been an error of 

 judgement and hence do not believe that it is reasonable to argue that he 

 misidentified Tryphon nasutus as Mesoleptus nasutus.
