  The 
  above 
  three 
  <:renera, 
  all 
  based 
  on 
  South 
  African 
  species, 
  were 
  

   originally 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  Ophionini 
  and 
  later 
  transferred 
  by 
  Schmiede- 
  

   knecht 
  to 
  the 
  (Nototrachini) 
  Anomalini, 
  with 
  wliich 
  the 
  unicalcarate 
  

   mitidlo 
  tibia, 
  simple 
  claws, 
  bidentate 
  clj'peus, 
  rup:osc 
  mesoscutum, 
  long 
  

   ovipositor, 
  short 
  wings, 
  and 
  unbroken 
  nervellus, 
  ascribed 
  at 
  least 
  to 
  

   Ophiononeura 
  and 
  Erythrophion, 
  would 
  ally 
  them. 
  To 
  these 
  char- 
  

   acters, 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  descriptions, 
  I 
  am 
  enabled, 
  through 
  

   the 
  kindness 
  of 
  J. 
  F. 
  Perkins, 
  to 
  add 
  the 
  following: 
  

  

  Ophiononeura. 
  — 
  Eyes 
  slightly 
  convergent 
  and 
  not 
  emarginate; 
  

   epomia 
  complete; 
  foretibia 
  with 
  an 
  apical 
  tooth; 
  second 
  recurrent 
  

   antefurcal 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one-half 
  times 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  intcrcubitus; 
  angle 
  

   between 
  basal 
  abscissa 
  of 
  radius 
  and 
  intcrcubitus 
  about 
  150°. 
  

  

  Stictophion. 
  — 
  Eyes, 
  epomia, 
  and 
  foretibia 
  as 
  in 
  Ophiononeura; 
  

   second 
  recurrent 
  antefurcal 
  by 
  one 
  and 
  one-third 
  times 
  the 
  length 
  

   of 
  intercubitus; 
  angle 
  between 
  basal 
  abscissa 
  of 
  radius 
  and 
  intcrcubitus 
  

   about 
  120°. 
  

  

  Erythrophion. 
  — 
  Eyes, 
  epomia, 
  and 
  foretibia 
  as 
  in 
  Ophiononeura; 
  

   second 
  recurrent 
  antefurcal 
  by 
  slightly 
  more 
  than 
  lengtli 
  of 
  intercu- 
  

   bitus; 
  angle 
  between 
  basal 
  abscissa 
  of 
  radius 
  and 
  intercubitus 
  about 
  

   150°. 
  

  

  These 
  added 
  characters 
  taken 
  together 
  with 
  those 
  furnishod 
  by 
  the 
  

   original 
  descriptions 
  render 
  the 
  placing 
  of 
  these 
  genera 
  in 
  the 
  Ano- 
  

   malini 
  obvious. 
  

  

  Schmiedeknecht'.s 
  statement, 
  in 
  his 
  key 
  to 
  the 
  genera 
  of 
  the 
  Noto- 
  

   trachini, 
  that 
  the 
  second 
  recnnent 
  vein 
  is 
  apicnd 
  of 
  the 
  intercubitus 
  

   is 
  due 
  to 
  his 
  misinterpretation 
  of 
  Cameron's 
  statement 
  "the 
  recurrent 
  

   nervure 
  received 
  behind 
  the 
  transverse 
  cubital." 
  It 
  seems 
  probable 
  

   that 
  this 
  character 
  was 
  Cameron's 
  sole 
  reason 
  for 
  placing 
  the 
  genera 
  

   in 
  tlic 
  Opliionirii.
