The presence of scales on the body is insufficient reason for erecting 

 a new genus for a single species, especially when the shape of the 

 antenna, wing venation, and bursal conformation agree with the other 

 members of the Albicinctus group. It is, therefore, being returned to 

 the genus Scenopinus. 



Figure S7 .— Scenopinus squamosus Villeneuve, female: a, wing; //, c, lateral and frontal 

 aspects of head; d, enlarged detail of antenna; e, ventral aspect of 8th sternum:/, lateral 

 aspect of 8th and 9th segments; g, 9th sternum and bursa. 



In addition to the scales, the presence of dusky patches on the center 

 of the cells of the wings helps to identify this species. The abdomen 

 has white posterior bands on the segments, the halteres are black. 



For details of head and eighth segment and bursa, see figure.
