 Holarctic region only. Of the sixteen genera currently recognized, twelve have Nearctic species. 



Genus SYNOMELIX Foerster 



Zemiophora Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 203. 



Type-species: Tryphon scutulatus Hartig. By subsequent monotypy from inclusion 

 by Thomson, 1894. 

 Synomelix Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 206. 



Type-species: Synomelix sieboldii Kriechbaumer. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Kriechbaumer, 1897. Perkins (1962) regarded the type-species as 

 being synonymous with S. albipes (Gravenhorst). 

 Zemiophorus Thomson, 1894. Opusc. Ent. 19: 2000. Emend. 



This is a small Holarctic genus. Perkins (1962) disputed Townes (1945) suppression of 

 Zemiophora as a synonym of Syyiomelix.

Genus SYNODITES Foerster 



Zootrephes Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 162. This name was 

 suppressed as a synonym of Synodites by Townes, Momoi, and Townes (1965) who were 

 acting as first revisors. It should be noted that volume 25 of Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, 

 Verh. was published in two halves; Zootrephes appeared in the first half and Syyiodites 

 appeared in the second half. If it is subsequently shown that the second half or the 

 author's separates it would, of course, be necessary to suppress Synodites as a synonym 

 of Zootrephes. Zootrephes. 



Type-species: Bassus {Zootrephes) hilaris Woldstedt. By subsequent monotypy 

 from inclusion by Woldstedt, 1880. 

 Sychnoportus Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 208, 220. The variant 

 spelling Sychiioporthus appeared on p. 220. 



Type-species: Sychnoportus rufopectus Ashmead. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Ashmead, 1898.
