illustration had been seen. Since then, specimens from Venezuela 

 which agree with the original illustration have come to hand. They are 

 not conspecific with the lectotype. The lectotype should be set aside, 

 and a petition to the International Commission of Zoological Nomen- 

 clature is being prepared to request this. Psuedojnetopia dufouri (Signoret), 

 as treated here, is the genuine dufouri, not Young's misdetermination 

 (lectotype) which is actually P. phalaesia (Distant), an Andean species 

 known presently from Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. 



In the key, P. separata (Signoret) is not included because no specimens 

 have been seen. P. amblardii var. scutellaris (Schmidt) is known only 

 from the teneral female type (IZP) of which the abdominal sternum 

 VII is as in t)^ical P. amblardii (Signoret). 



The present interpretation of P. phalaesia (Distant) is based on a male 

 specimen compared with the female lectotype in the British Museum. 

 This specimen was conspecific with the male lectotype of P. dufouri 

 var. abdominalis (Schmidt). 



The identity of P. latifascia (Walker) rests on a male from Trinidad 

 Island, compared with the Venezuelan female lectotype. The genitalia 

 of the male are as in P. phalaesia (Distant) except for the aedeagus, 

 which is illustrated in figui'e 92.
