Van der Wulp in separating Salduba melanaria Wlk., from the 

 rest of the genus and creating the above genus for it, recognised 

 at once that the venation placed this species in a different sub- 

 family supplemented by a most unusual form of head. Moreover, 

 he recognised Salduba's true position {PachygastrincB sub-family) 

 by his remarks as to its affinities with Tinda.
