Agrypon paediacae Ashmead, 1896. Amer. Ent. Soc, Trans. 23: 190, errata. 6, 9. The 

 spelling praediscae appears on p. 190 and the correction paediscae appears in the errata, 

 the errata evidently being published at the same time as the rest of the paper. The 

 lectotype selected by Schmid (1969) is here rejected because it was not one of 

 Ashmead's syntypes. Although Ashmead's syntypes included several specimens from 

 Fortress Monroe (=Fort Monroe, Hampton), Va., it was indicated by Ashmead that they 

 were specimens labeled 3422 with the superscript 01. Notes in the U. S. Natl. Museum 

 under that Bureau of Entomology number indicate that specimens so labeled were 

 reared from the olethreutid Strepsicrates sniitliiana collected at Ft. Monroe on Myrica 

 cerifera, but that Bureau number does not apply to specimens reared from other hosts. 

 The specimen here rejected as lectotype is labeled as being reared from a lepidopteran 

 on roots of grass. Among the labels of the female specimen here selected as lectotype 

 are Ashmead's handwritten identification label and a label bearing the aforementioned 

 Bureau of Entomology number and the date "10/7, 84" (i.e. July 10, 1884).

 obscura (Schmid), n. status. South-cent. Ariz. If this taxon proves to be conspecific with 

 geniailata, it would almost certainly be better treated as a synonym of geniculata 

 rather than as a subspecies thereof.

Genus METOA Townes 



Metoa Townes, 1971. Amer. Ent. Inst., Mem. 17: 147. 



Type-species: Anomalo7i exile Provancher. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This is a Nearctic genus. Townes said that he had seen eight species. 



exilis (Provancher). Que. s. to N. C, w. to Mich. Several host records were published in 1898 

 and 1911, but I suspect that they involve misidentifications oi Anoinaloji exile and 

 doubt that they would pertain to any species of Metoa.

Genus CALCANEUM Townes 



Calcaneum Townes, 1971. Amer. Ent. Inst., Mem. 17: 145. 



Type-species: Calcaneum oporinum Townes. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This is a Nearctic genus. Specimens which I have seen from N. Mex. and s.e. Wash, appear to 

 represent an undescribed species, and thus it appears that there are at least two species in the 

 genus.
