Basalys cZavo^a (Ashmead), new combination 



Tropidopsis clavata Ashmead, 1893, p. 402. 



This was described from a male and a female from St. Vincent, British 

 \^est Indies; according to Ashmead, the types were deposited in the 

 National Museum. From the description it is evident that the female 

 should be considered the type, but it has not been found. The male 

 specimen, which is well preserved, is a species of Trichopria and 

 obviously not the same species as the female; it is, therefore, not 

 designated the lectotype.
