Anomalon rufns Provancher, 1874. Nat. Canad. 6: 174. 9. Que. Preocc. by Anomalon nifum 



Holmgren, 1857; replaced by Anonialon exrufum Walkley (which see). Barron (1975) did 

 not find the holotype, but thought there was strong evidence that the holotype would be 

 a species of Tricliionotus.

 Type-species: Microcremastus amseli Hedwig. Monotypic and desig. by Townes, 

 1971. The included taxa were M. amseli and M. aynseli "f.flavus" Hedwig; for 

 those who consider the latter to be an unavailable name, M. amseli is the 

 type-species by monotypy. 



This is a very large genus, known from all zoogeographic regions. As far as is known, the 

 usual hosts are soil-dwelling larvae of Coleoptera, but an undescribed species from Maryland has 

 been reared by Dr. J. F. G. Clarke from an undescribed species of Exartema (Lepidoptera: 

 Olethreutidae) which in turn was reared from the seed heads of an unidentified species of an- 

 nual plant which was growing in a swampy area where the basal portions of the plants were sub- 

 merged in water. Oddly enough, this new species oi Anomalon from Maryland is virtually in- 

 distinguishable from Anomalon califomicum (Cresson), which is known to me from Hawaii and 

 California (as far north as San Francisco) and apparently is found in relatively dry habitats.
