  New 
  synonymy. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  Psylonychia 
  occurs 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  sub- 
  

   family 
  Ophioninae, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  evident 
  that 
  Szepligeti 
  at 
  first 
  intended 
  

   to 
  use 
  this 
  name 
  for 
  what 
  he 
  actually 
  described 
  as 
  Stenophthalmus. 
  

  

  As 
  pointed 
  out 
  by 
  Shestakov, 
  Schmiedeknccht 
  inadvertently 
  re- 
  

   ferred 
  Hellwigiella 
  nigripennis 
  Szephgeti 
  and 
  H. 
  similis 
  Szepligeti 
  to 
  

   Stenophthalmus 
  . 
  

  

  So 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  few 
  characters 
  given 
  for 
  this 
  genus 
  go, 
  it 
  evidently 
  

   belongs 
  to 
  the 
  Ophion 
  group, 
  and 
  I 
  doubt 
  its 
  distinctness 
  from 
  Ophion. 
  

   Certainly 
  the 
  key 
  characters 
  of 
  small 
  eyes 
  and 
  ocelli 
  are 
  not 
  sufficient 
  

   to 
  separate 
  it. 
  

  

  GENERA 
  WRONGLY 
  INCLUDED 
  IN 
  THE 
  OPHIONINI 
  

  

  Genus 
  ANOMALON 
  Panzer 
  (NOTOTRACHYS 
  Marshall) 
  

  

  Virtually 
  all 
  authors 
  have 
  employed 
  the 
  name 
  Nototrachys 
  for 
  this 
  

   genus, 
  but 
  Rohwer, 
  Gahan, 
  and 
  Cushman 
  (Proc. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Washing- 
  

   ton, 
  vol. 
  17, 
  p. 
  149, 
  1915) 
  showed 
  that 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  known 
  as 
  Anomolon. 
  

  

  Because 
  of 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  recurrent 
  vein 
  basad 
  of 
  the 
  

   intercubitus 
  Morley 
  included 
  this 
  genus, 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Nototrachys, 
  

   in 
  the 
  Ophionini, 
  despite 
  the 
  many 
  characters 
  that 
  exclude 
  it 
  from 
  

   that 
  tribe. 
  The 
  combination 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  single 
  calcarium 
  of 
  the 
  

   middle 
  tibia, 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  venational 
  character, 
  the 
  unbroken 
  

   nervellus, 
  the 
  swollen 
  front 
  and 
  middle 
  tibiae, 
  the 
  tooth 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  

   of 
  the 
  front 
  tibia, 
  the 
  simple 
  claws, 
  the 
  convergent 
  eyes 
  and 
  the 
  

   strong 
  epomia 
  I 
  consider 
  sufficient 
  for 
  tribal 
  distinction. 
  This 
  con- 
  

   clusion 
  is 
  supported 
  by 
  the 
  host 
  relation 
  with 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  elaterid 
  

   beetles 
  (Heteroderes) 
  and 
  by 
  larval 
  characters, 
  as 
  shown 
  on 
  earher 
  

   pages 
  of 
  this 
  revision.
