Coelinius Nees. Examination of the genotype shows, however, that 

 it has little in common with Coelinius, and that it is rather a per- 

 fectly normal Rogas. The head is transverse; eyes somewhat 

 emarginate; a circuliform opening between clypeus and mandibles; 

 abdomen depressed; the first three tergites large, occupying most 

 of the dorsum of abdomen, all three longitudinally rugulose on a 

 granular surface, the first and second with a median longitudinal 

 carina which also extends weakly upon base of third.

Genus YELICONES Cameron 



Yeliconcs Cameron, Biol. Centr. Aiuer. Hyiu., vol. 1, p. 3S7, 18S7. (Genotype, 



Yelicones violaccipennis Cameron.) 

 Rlwpaloioma Cameron, Timehri Journ. Roy. Agr. Com. Soc. BritLsh Guiana, 



vol. 1, p. 318, 1911. [Genotype, Rhopalotoma crassltarsis Cameron (new 



synonymy.] 



I have examined the genotypes of both genera and am convinced 

 that they are unquestionably congeneric. They agree in all es- 

 sentials of wing venation and in the head, thoracic, abdominal, and 

 striking leg characters.

Subfamily DORYCTINAE 

 Genus EUSCELINUS Westwood 



Euscelinus Westwood, Tijd'^clir. Ent., vol. 25, p. 2.5, 1882. (Genotype, EusceU- 

 nus sarauacus Westwood.) 



In his " Classification of the Ichneumon Flies," Ashmead (1900)^^ 

 assigned this genus to the subfamily Helconinae. Szepligeti (1904),^^ 

 apparently knowing it only from literature, likewise placed it in the 

 Helconinae although only in his supplement to that group, omitting 

 it from the key. The same year Ashmead ^^ described Euscelinus 

 manilae, but even with a specimen before him, he retained the genus 

 in the Helconinae, 



I have examined Westwood's genotype, which is in the Hope 

 Museum at Oxford, as well as the type of E. numilae, which is in 

 the United States National Museum, and as a result am referring the 

 genus to the Doryctinae. It runs direct to the Doryctinae in Szepli- 

 geti's classification and undoubtedly belongs in that group as at 

 present defined. In placing Euscelimis in the Helconinae, Ashmead
