ART. 16 XEW ICHNEUMON-FLIES MUESEBECK 1^ 



In a paper on Ethiopian Braconidae, Brues (1926)^^ included 

 Xiphozele in his key to the Macrocentrinae and explained that he 

 had omitted Ceroto'pia because he did not know the genus and since 

 it had not been originally suflicientlj^ well characterized to make 

 recognition possible. After an examination of the genotypes of both 

 genera I find that Cerotofia must be suppressed as a synonym of 

 Xiphozele. Furthermore, in my opinion, C. corneimacula Enderlein 

 is conspecific with X. compi'essiventris Cameron.

Stictometeorus was synonymized with Relorimoriilia by Brues,^*^ 

 and Turner ^^ later pointed out that Erythrometeorus also is a syno- 

 nym of this cosmopolitan genus, but both authors apparently over- 

 looked Enderlein's ScipolaMa^ the genotype of which is likewise a 

 typical HelorimorpJia. The name reticulata. Enderlein being pre- 

 occupied by reticulatus Cameron, it becomes necessary to propose a 

 new name for the former species, which appears to be distinct al- 

 though closely related to hrasiUensis Brues.
