Oncometopia tomentosa Distant belongs in the genus Tretogonia (see 

 p. 167) and is not conspecific with 0. asperula Melichar as stated by 

 Schroder (1959a: 25). The holotype of 0. badia (Walker) is a female, of 

 which the sclerotization of genital chamber is illustrated in figure 212. 

 The lectotype of 0. clarior (Walker) agrees with Schroder's interpre- 

 tation (1959a:16). The lectotype of 0. coacta Schmidt is conspecific 

 with the lectotype of 0. rubescens Fowler. The male genitalia of the 

 lectotype of 0. dispar Fowler are very similar to those of the holotype 

 of 0. parallela (Walker), which are illustrated in figure 214. The 

 lectotype of 0. facialis (Signoret) is a specimen which Schroder had 

 studied. The abdominal sternum VII of the lectotype of 0. funebris 

 (Signoret) agrees with Schroder's (1959a:pl.l) illustration. The synon- 

 ymy for 0. nigricans (Walker) in the check-list below is based on a study 

 of the male genitalia of the lectotype of 0. nigricans, of the holotypes of 

 0. marginata (Walker) and 0. scutellata (Walker), and a gross comparison 

 of the female holotype of 0. tenebrosa (Walker). The lectotype of 0. 

 obtusa (Fabricius) had been studied by Schroder and it agrees with his 

 (1959a:pl.l) illustration. Schroder had studied earlier the specimen 

 selected as lectotype of 0. or bona (Fabricius) and it fits his (1959a: 14) 

 interpretation of the species. 0. plagiata (Walker) is placed in synonymy 

 under 0. or bona (Fabricius) as a result of study of the genital chamber 

 of the female holotype of plagiata. The lectotype of 0. rubiginosa (Sig- 

 noret) agrees with Schroder's (1959a:pl.4) illustration. The genitalia 

 of the lectotype of 0. tartarea (St^l) are illustrated here (fig. 215). The 

 lectotype of 0. undata (Fabricius), a female, appears to be conspecific 

 with the lectotype of 0. orbona (Fabricius).
