MELASID^ 



Sehenkling in Col. Cat., pars. 96, arranges the North American genera 

 belonging in the family Melasidse in four subfamilies, viz.: Gastraula- 

 cina? (Dendrocharis); 2 Eucneminae (Eucnemis, Poecilochrus, Phaeno- 

 cerus, Stethon, Deltometopus, Dr'omaeolus, Fornax); 3 Dirhaginse 

 (Arhipis, Entom'ophthalmus, Dirhagus subgen. Hyporhagus*, Rhago- 

 micrus, Adelothyreus) ; 4 Melasinae (Isorhipis, Melasis, Euryptychus, 

 Epiphanis, Palaeoxenis, Schizophilus, Hylis, Xylophilus, Hylochares, 

 Sarpedon, Nematodes). He does n'ot include Perothopinse in the family
