101. Scenopinus pygmaeus Loew 



Figure 99 



Scenopinus pygmaeus Loew, 1857, p. 90. 

 Scenopinus albidipennis Loew, 1869, p. 32. 



This species, first described from Surinam, appears to be distributed 

 over the Caribbean region. Examination of the genitalia of the type 

 of albidipennis showed it to be identical \vith that of S. pygmaeus. 

 The type of (S. albidipennis is somewhat teneral which may have 

 led Loew to describe it as a new species.
