Eurymeloides Ashmead, 1889, Ent. Amer., V, 126- 

 Ashmead has founded this genus in the most improper man- 

 ner, viz. : in one line of description, without mention of species. 

 The venation both of teigmina and wings is often very 'irregu- 

 lar. Usually there is one vein standing on the cubital, some- 

 times two, sometimes none at all, in the same species. Some- 

 times the transverse apical veins are incomplete, a cell thus 

 reaching from the first forking of t'he median to the apex of the 

 tegmen.
