  SPECIES 
  WRONGLY 
  PLACED 
  IN 
  CEROCEPHALINAE 
  

  

  One 
  species 
  described 
  in 
  Theocolax 
  is 
  quite 
  certainly 
  not 
  a 
  cero- 
  

   cephaline 
  but 
  a 
  eupelmid.

  No 
  representative 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  seen 
  by 
  me 
  but 
  the 
  

   description 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  cannot 
  apply 
  to 
  any 
  cerocephaline 
  and 
  

   does 
  agree 
  quite 
  well 
  with 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  subapterous 
  eupelmids. 
  

   0. 
  Peck, 
  of 
  the 
  Canadian 
  Department 
  of 
  Agriculture, 
  informs 
  me 
  

   that 
  he 
  once 
  examined 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  Provancher 
  

   collection 
  and 
  concluded 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  eupelmid 
  but 
  did 
  not 
  place 
  it 
  

   generically. 
  It 
  is 
  here 
  referred 
  tentatively 
  to 
  EupelmeUa 
  Masi 
  

   but 
  may 
  eventually 
  prove 
  to 
  belong 
  in 
  some 
  other 
  subapterous 
  

   genus 
  of 
  the 
  Eupelmidae. 
  

  

  Ashmead's 
  translation 
  of 
  Provancher's 
  description 
  is 
  incorrect 
  

   with 
  respect 
  to 
  the 
  mesothorax. 
  This 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  longitudinally 
  

   hollowed 
  out, 
  not 
  "longitudinally 
  aciculated" 
  as 
  stated 
  by 
  Ash- 
  

   mead. 
  

  

  REMARKS 
  ON 
  SOME 
  GENERA 
  EXCLUDED 
  FROM 
  

   CEROCEPHALINAE 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  genera, 
  which 
  at 
  one 
  time 
  or 
  another 
  have 
  been 
  

   associated 
  by 
  some 
  authors 
  with 
  Cerocephala 
  in 
  the 
  Spalangiinae, 
  

   are 
  considered 
  not 
  to 
  belong 
  in 
  Cerocephalinae 
  : 
  

  

  Paraspalangia 
  Ashmead 
  (Mem. 
  Carnegie 
  Mus., 
  vol. 
  1, 
  p. 
  334, 
  

   1904) 
  was 
  included 
  in 
  a 
  key 
  to 
  genera 
  of 
  Spalangiinae 
  with 
  a 
  

   manuscript 
  species, 
  P. 
  ammlipes 
  Ashmead, 
  named 
  as 
  the 
  genotype. 
  

   The 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Museum 
  collection, 
  and 
  

   it 
  belongs 
  in 
  the 
  Tetrastichinae. 
  The 
  type 
  specimen 
  was 
  rede- 
  

   scribed 
  by 
  Girault 
  (Ann. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Amer., 
  vol. 
  9, 
  p. 
  303, 
  1916) 
  

   under 
  a 
  new 
  generic 
  and 
  specific 
  name, 
  Stigmatotrastichus 
  emer- 
  

   soni 
  Girault. 
  The 
  generic 
  name 
  Stigmatotrastichus 
  Girault 
  is 
  a 
  

   synonym 
  of 
  Paraspalangia 
  Ashmead, 
  and 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  

   emersoni 
  Girault 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  annulipes 
  Ashmead. 
  This 
  syn- 
  

   onymy 
  was 
  indicated 
  in 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  type 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genera 
  of 
  

   chalcid 
  flies 
  by 
  Gahan 
  and 
  Pagan 
  (U. 
  S. 
  Nat. 
  Mus. 
  Bull. 
  123, 
  p. 
  

   137, 
  1923) 
  but 
  without 
  indication 
  of 
  where 
  the 
  genus 
  belonged 
  in 
  

   the 
  classification.
