180 FAMILY EVANIID^. 



erer, wlio has done more to bring order out of clnios in tliis family 

 tlian any other man. 



Hah. — Java. 



Type and two paratypes in the collection of the Cornell Univer- 

 sity. One paratvpe in the author's collection. 



EVAIVISCUS Szepligeti. 

 (1903. Pseadevania Kiefler, misprint for Zenxevania, Zeitsclir. f. Hym. u. Dipt., 



iii, p. Ill, see corrigenda to volume.) 

 1903. Evaniscus Szepligeti, Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung., i, pp. 375, 378. 



Tijpe. — Evaniscus tibialis Szepligeti. 



In the Zeit. f. Hymen, u. Dipt., iii, p. Ill, Kieffer says that 

 Evatiia, trochanterata Cameron and E. marginata Cameron belong 

 to Pseudevania (mis^print for Zeuxevanid, see Zeitsch. f. Hym. u. 

 Dipt., vol. iii corrigenda). E. trochanterata Cameron is a true 

 Evania, to which genus it must be returned forthwith. The wing 

 venation as figured by Cameron in the Biologia Centrali- Americana 

 is that o^ Evania, and not of Zeuxevania or other genus. E. margi- 

 nata is neither an Evania nor a Zeuxevania, but is congeneric with 

 the subsequently described Evaniscus tibialis of SzepWgeti. Hence 

 it should stand in the genus Evaniscus Szepligeti of which tibialis 

 is the type.
