Genus CORSONCUS Townes 



Corsoncus Townes, 1971. Amer. Ent. Inst., Mem. 17: 141. 



Type-species: Anomalon viagtim Cresson. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This is a small Neotropic and Nearctic genus. The generic limits of Corsoncus were redefined 

 by Gauld (1976). Except for C. nigricans (Cresson), the Nearctic species here newly placed in 

 CornoncuH had been referred to Hadroitianus (now a synonym of Barylypa) by Townes (1971). I 

 have not seen the types of the species now placed in Corsoyicus.

Genus LIOPTERNA Townes 



Lioptema Townes, 1971. Amer. Ent. Inst., Mem. 17: 138. 



Type-species: Liopterna sclilingeri Townes. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



A single species is known. 



schlingeri Townes. Southern Calif. Known from a single male collected at a locality cited by 

 Townes as 3 miles west of "Octoella Wells," CaHf. It is apparent that this is a 

 misspelling for Ocotilla Wells in San Diego County. The type-locality would presumably 

 lie at the eastern edge of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
