N0 - 361!) CADDIS FLIES, V — FLINT 17 



The lectotypic male was studied by Schmid, who recognized the 

 above synonymy and figured the species (1955). 



Genus Platyphylax McLachlan 



Platyphylax discolor Banks : See Limnephilus discolor (Banks) . 



Calamoceratidae 

 Genus Heteroplectron McLachlan 



Heteroplectron maculatum Banks: See Phylloicus maculatus (Banks). 

 Heteroplectron nigripennis Banks: See Phylloicus aeneus (Hagen). 

 Heteroplectron mexicanum Banks: See Phylloicus aeneus (Hagen). 



Genus Phylloicus Mtiller 



(Genus Notiomyia Banks, new synonymy) 



I am synonymizing here the genus Notiomyia with Phylloicus. 

 The type-species of Notiomyia, mexicana (Banks), is clearly con- 

 generic with P. major Miiller, the type-species of Phylloicus. The 

 species presently placed in Notiomyia — mexicana (Banks), ornata 

 Banks, and sagittosa Ross — are all transfered to Phylloicus (all new 

 combinations) .

This species is, as I am considering it here, quite variable in colora- 

 tion, size, and details of structure of the genitalia. The types of 

 aeneus and nigripennis are females whose abdomens I have cleared 

 and compared side-by-side and found to be the same. In coloration, 

 there is a form with the wing veins marked with golden hairs (aeneus 

 and sagittosa types) and another with totally black hairs (nigripennis
