LIST OF TYPE SPECIES OF CHALCID-FLIES. 89 



Microma Curtis — Continued. 



latipennis were nomiua nuda and we do not believe that Haliday's 

 identification of his CaUeptiles laUpennis witli the nomen nudum of 

 Curtis in any sense validates the Curtis names. The species latipennis 

 is Haliday's and dates from Haliday, not from Curtis. The generic name 

 Microma is still a nomen nudum without standing in literature. To 

 recognize Microma as a valid name would necessitate sinking Tricho- 

 (iramma Westwood as a synonym, 

 (Micromelus Walker) =Callitula Spinola. 



Ent. Mag., vol. 1, 1S33, pp. 371, 464. Two species. 



Type. — {Micromelus rufomaculatus Walker.) (Designated by Westwood, 

 1840, Synopsis, p. Q2.)=CallituIa bicolor Spinola, according to Reinhard, 

 1858, Dalla Torre, p. 89. Micromelus silvanus Walker, designated by 

 Ashmead, 1904, p. 381, not originally included. 



CalUtula bicolor Spinola was named and described in a generic key. Rein- 

 bard did not consider this validated the species and accordingly made 

 the species a synonym of Micromelus rufomaculatns Walker. According 

 to the rules of nomenclature CalUtula bicolor is a valid species and ante- 

 dates rufomaculatus Walker. 

 (Micromelus Dalla Torre not Walker) =Pseudoinicromelus, new name.
