  ovor 
  Allocamptu.'^ 
  Thomson. 
  In 
  cK-scribinc; 
  Cymaioneura, 
  Kricrh- 
  

   baunicr 
  mentioned 
  only 
  two 
  chnracters, 
  the 
  hick 
  of 
  scleronies 
  in 
  the 
  

   wintj 
  and 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  basal 
  abscissa 
  of 
  the 
  radius, 
  "an 
  oder 
  

   nahe 
  der 
  Basis 
  verdickt, 
  geschlanjrelt 
  odor 
  wellenforinig." 
  As 
  I 
  

   have 
  indicated 
  elsewhere, 
  both 
  of 
  these 
  structures 
  are 
  subject 
  to 
  great 
  

   variation 
  within 
  Enicospilus. 
  The 
  really 
  most 
  characteristic 
  feature 
  

   of 
  the 
  genotype 
  of 
  Cymaiomura 
  is 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  with 
  the 
  

   temple 
  strongly 
  buccate 
  behind 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  eye 
  and 
  rapidly 
  

   diminishing 
  in 
  breadth 
  and 
  convexity 
  below. 
  This 
  does 
  not 
  occur 
  

   in 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  s])ecies 
  referred 
  to 
  Cymatoneiira 
  by 
  Kriechbaumer 
  

   or 
  in 
  others 
  that 
  I 
  know, 
  though 
  many 
  have 
  the 
  temples 
  strongly 
  

   convex 
  but 
  more 
  uniformly 
  so. 
  Some 
  of 
  these, 
  including 
  the 
  geno- 
  

   type 
  of 
  Evicospilvs, 
  have 
  distinct 
  scleronies 
  and 
  the 
  radius 
  very 
  

   different. 
  Others, 
  witli 
  the 
  wing 
  characters 
  of 
  Cymatoneura, 
  have 
  the 
  

   temples 
  very 
  narrow. 
  Another 
  somewhat 
  peculiar 
  feature 
  of 
  the 
  

   genotype 
  is 
  the 
  slight 
  concavity 
  of 
  the 
  clvpeus, 
  best 
  seen 
  in 
  profile. 
  

   This 
  is 
  approached 
  in 
  such 
  species 
  as 
  {Thyreodon) 
  Enicospilus 
  texanus 
  

   (Aslimead)," 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  straight 
  in 
  profde 
  with 
  no 
  inflec- 
  

   tion 
  or 
  reflexed 
  margin 
  apically. 
  Thomson 
  was 
  quite 
  wrong 
  in 
  

   stating 
  that 
  undulatus 
  lacks 
  the 
  postpectoral 
  carina. 
  

  

  The 
  synonymy 
  of 
  Leptophion 
  Cameron 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  authority 
  of 
  J. 
  F. 
  

   Perkins, 
  who 
  states 
  that 
  the 
  genotype 
  has 
  alar 
  scleromes 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  

   claws 
  are 
  very 
  sharply 
  bent 
  apically. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  nothing 
  in 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  Dicamptus 
  Sz6pligeti 
  to 
  dis- 
  

   tinguish 
  it 
  from 
  Enicospilus. 
  Though 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  find 
  a 
  

   specimen 
  of 
  the 
  genotype 
  in 
  the 
  material 
  available, 
  I 
  have 
  identified 
  

   (Dicamptus) 
  Enicospilus 
  grammospilus 
  (Enderlein) 
  (new 
  combination) 
  

   (pi. 
  55, 
  fig. 
  70), 
  which 
  appears 
  to 
  bo 
  properly 
  referred 
  to 
  Dicamptus, 
  

   and 
  on 
  the 
  strength 
  of 
  this 
  synonymizc 
  Dicamptus. 
  Morley 
  treats 
  

   Dicamptus 
  as 
  a 
  subgenus 
  of 
  Allocamptus 
  Thomson, 
  thereliy 
  imputing 
  

   ff> 
  it 
  "vertical" 
  mandibles. 
  Uchida, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  states 
  that 
  

   the 
  mandibles 
  are 
  "horizontal." 
  He 
  synonymizes 
  "Allocamptus 
  

   Morley 
  (not 
  Thomson)" 
  with 
  Dicamptus, 
  overlooking 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  

   Morley 
  ineludcd 
  in 
  Allocamptus 
  the 
  genotype, 
  undulatus 
  

   '^fravenhorst). 
  

  

  Most 
  of 
  the 
  few 
  characters 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  description 
  of 
  

   Metophion 
  Sz6{)ligeti 
  (the 
  presence 
  of 
  two 
  scleronies 
  in 
  the 
  wing, 
  th(» 
  

   strongly 
  curved 
  apical 
  al^seissa 
  of 
  the 
  radius, 
  and 
  the 
  margined 
  scu- 
  

   tolhmi) 
  indicate 
  affinity 
  with 
  hnir,ospilv^<i; 
  in 
  fact, 
  the 
  only 
  discc^rdant 
  

   f'liararter 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  expression 
  "randmal 
  nieht 
  ausgebildet." 
  

   One 
  would 
  hardly 
  say 
  that 
  the 
  stigma 
  is 
  not 
  developed 
  in 
  Enicospilus 
  

   or 
  in 
  any 
  genus 
  of 
  Ophionini 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  seen.
