 holotype of insignis.

Subfamily NEORHACODINAE 



This small subfamily includes two genera, only one of which occurs in the Nearctic region. 



Genus NEORHACODES Hedicke 



Rhacodes Ruschka, 1922. Arch. f. Naturgesch. (ser. A) 88 (5): 138. Preocc. by Koch, 1856. 



Type-species: Rhacodes enslini Ruschka. Monotypic. 

 Neorhacodes Hedicke, 1922. Deut. Ent. Ztschr. (for 1922), p. 427. New name for Rhacodes 

 Ruschka. 



This is a small Holarctic and Neotropic genus. There appear to be several undescribed Nearc- 

 tic species. The type-species, which is European, has been reared from the pemphredonine 

 sphecid Spilome7ia troglodytes (V. d. L.). An undescribed species from W. Va. was reared from a 

 pemphredonine in the galleries of an anobiid in a house timber. 



Taxonomy: Horstmann, 1968. Ent. Nachr. 12: 33-36 (final-instar larva and adult of 

 type-species). —Townes, 1971. Amer. Ent. Inst., Mem. 17: 240.
