Omphrale tarsalis Krober, 1913, p. 196. 



I have not seen this species as the type has been destroyed. However, 

 it is my belief that S. nitidifrons probably is a female of this species. 

 From examination of the plate figures and collection data, it is hard 

 to see why these were identified as separate species. The slight dif- 

 ferences in wing venation, and coloration of the halteres and legs 

 is common among members of the Scenopinidae.
