  genotype. 
  To 
  Eremotylus 
  in 
  the 
  sense 
  of 
  Thomson 
  have 
  been 
  referred 
  

   such 
  American 
  species 
  as 
  (Thyreodon) 
  Enicospilus 
  texanus 
  (Ashmead) 
  

   (new 
  combination) 
  (pi. 
  55, 
  fig. 
  64), 
  {Eremotylus) 
  Enicospilus 
  rufoniger 
  

   (Hooker) 
  (new 
  combination) 
  (pi. 
  55, 
  fig. 
  66), 
  and 
  Enicospilus 
  ameri- 
  

   canus 
  (Christ) 
  (pi. 
  55, 
  fig. 
  69), 
  the 
  last 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Eremotylus 
  

   macrurus 
  (Linnaeus). 
  Thomson's 
  statement 
  that 
  Allocamptus 
  

   Foerster 
  is 
  coextensive 
  with 
  Enicospilus 
  appears 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  the 
  

   first 
  (imphed) 
  reference 
  of 
  species 
  to 
  Allocamptus, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  in 
  

   this 
  restricted 
  sense 
  appears 
  never 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  used 
  in 
  combination 
  

   with 
  a 
  specific 
  name, 
  most 
  authors 
  having 
  followed 
  Thomson's 
  lead 
  

   in 
  applying 
  to 
  it 
  Ophion 
  undulatus 
  Gravenhorst. 
  That 
  Thomson 
  

   considered 
  Foerster's 
  generic 
  names 
  invahd 
  because 
  of 
  lack 
  of 
  asso- 
  

   ciated 
  species 
  is 
  shown 
  by 
  his 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  names 
  Allocamptus 
  and 
  

   Eremotylus. 
  He 
  applied 
  Allocamptus 
  to 
  what 
  Foerster 
  thought 
  of 
  as 
  

   Eremotylus 
  and 
  Eremotylus 
  to 
  something 
  different 
  from 
  either, 
  that 
  is, 
  

   Ophion 
  marginatus 
  (Gravenhorst) 
  Jurine. 
  0. 
  undulatus 
  should 
  not 
  

   be 
  accepted 
  as 
  the 
  genotype 
  of 
  Allocamptus 
  Foerster, 
  as 
  was 
  indicated 
  

   by 
  Viereck 
  (1914), 
  since 
  it 
  obviously 
  does 
  not 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  original 
  

   description, 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  scleromes; 
  and 
  Allocamptus 
  Thom- 
  

   son 
  is 
  a 
  different 
  concept, 
  even 
  though 
  both 
  are 
  here 
  considered 
  

   synonymous 
  with 
  Enicospilus. 
  The 
  case 
  of 
  Eremotylus 
  is 
  somewhat 
  

   different, 
  for 
  Ophion 
  marginatus, 
  the 
  designated 
  genotype, 
  apparently 
  

   agrees 
  with 
  the 
  original 
  description, 
  and 
  that 
  genus 
  should 
  be 
  ac- 
  

   credited 
  to 
  Foerster, 
  even 
  though 
  it 
  appears 
  that 
  Thomson 
  considered 
  

   that 
  he 
  was 
  pubhshing 
  it 
  in 
  a 
  valid 
  manner 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time. 
  

  

  Dispilus 
  Kriechbaumer 
  first 
  appeared 
  as 
  a 
  subgeneric 
  name 
  under 
  

   Enicospilus 
  without 
  description 
  other 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  its 
  genotype. 
  In 
  

   his 
  second 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  name 
  Kriechbaumer 
  proposed 
  Pterospilus 
  

   as 
  a 
  new 
  genus 
  to 
  include 
  the 
  subgenera 
  Henicospilus 
  (to 
  be 
  restricted 
  

   to 
  species 
  ^vith 
  one 
  alar 
  sclerome), 
  Dispilus 
  (with 
  two 
  scleromes), 
  and 
  

   Trispilus, 
  a 
  new 
  subgenus 
  (with 
  three 
  scleromes). 
  

  

  Both 
  the 
  angulate 
  discocubitus 
  and 
  the 
  small 
  fenestra 
  exhibited 
  by 
  

   the 
  genotype 
  of 
  Pleuroneurophion 
  Ashmead 
  (pi. 
  55, 
  fig. 
  68) 
  occur 
  

   elsewhere 
  in 
  Enicospilus, 
  usually 
  not 
  in 
  combination. 
  The 
  only 
  

   really 
  anomalous 
  feature 
  of 
  Pleuroneurophion 
  is 
  the 
  exserted 
  ovipositor 
  

   (pi. 
  56, 
  fig. 
  100). 
  None 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  referred 
  to 
  Pleuroneurophion 
  by 
  

   Cameron, 
  Szepligeti, 
  and 
  Uchida 
  agrees 
  in 
  this 
  character. 
  In 
  the 
  

   paper 
  cited 
  above 
  I 
  have 
  already 
  pointed 
  out 
  these 
  facts 
  and 
  treated 
  

   Pleuroneurophion 
  as 
  a 
  subgenus 
  of 
  Enicospilus. 
  

  

  The 
  original 
  inclusion 
  of 
  Ophion 
  undulatus 
  Gravenhorst 
  in 
  Cyma- 
  

   toneura 
  and 
  its 
  subsequent 
  designation 
  as 
  genotype 
  by 
  Viereck 
  makes 
  

   that 
  genus 
  isogenotypic 
  with 
  Allocamptus 
  Thomson. 
  Those 
  who 
  

   recognize 
  this 
  as 
  a 
  genus 
  distinct 
  from 
  Enicospilus 
  should 
  use 
  Cyma- 
  

   toneura 
  as 
  the 
  generic 
  name, 
  since 
  Allocamptus 
  Foerster 
  has 
  priority
