In arranging the above synonymy we have examined all the type 

 species involved. In the European literature there may be other 

 synonyms, but if so we have not seen the type species. 



Named specimens of both sexes of Phofocera (Parasetiffena) 

 ta<cMno7noides and claripe7i'nis were sent to the eminent European 

 authority Dr. J. Villeneuve, with the request that he place them in 

 their proper genus. He placed them in Stomatomyla Brauer and 

 Bergenstamm. But the type species of this genus, fiUpalpis Rondani, 

 has reduced palpi and the hind crossvein drawn in from the margin 

 so that the last segment of the fifth vein is almost as long as the 

 preceding, characters which we regard as generic. Townsend has 

 placed StomatoTnyia, along with his own Plagiprosphet^sa (which 

 we consider a synonym of it), in the family Dexiidse. We agree 

 with Doctor Villeneuve, except that we make a somewhat closer 

 generic division here. The case will serve to illustrate the unsettled 

 state of the classification in this group. 



As indicated in the table of genera, the genus is here regarded 

 as containing four groups of subgeneric rank; these with their 

 respective synonyms are as follows : 



1. Phorocera. 



Chaetogena. 



Setigena ( emendation) .
