Genus XANTHOCAMPOPLEX Morley 



Xanthocampoplex Morley, 1913. Fauna Brit. India, Hym., v. 3, pt. 1, p. 445. 



Type-species: Xa^ithoca^npoplex orientalis Morley. Monotypic and orig. desig. The 

 type-species is regarded as a synonym of X. 7iigromaculatus (Cameron). 



This is a large genus which is distributed throughout the world, but with species most nu- 

 merous in the tropics. The hosts are lepidopterous caterpillars which do not conceal themselves 

 when feeding.

Type-species: Paracharops annulatus Blanchard. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This is a genus of small to moderate size which is not known with certainty to occur outside of 

 the New World. The occurrence of M. taitica (Holmgren) in Tahiti has apparently not been con- 

 firmed by the collection of additional specimens, and it may be that the holotype is mislabeled.
