66. Scenopinus nitidifrons (Krober) 



Omphrale nitidifrons Krober, 1913, p. 194. 



The type of this species has been lost. It is my opinion, however, 

 that this is in reality the female of S. tarsalis Krober on the basis 

 of the descriptions, the locality and collection data, and general shape 

 of the wings. It is not imcommon to have slight differences in the 

 coloration of wings, halteres and legs in the members of this group. 



See S. tarsalis (Krober) and figure 71, p. 107.
