1 A little confusion may occur here. In Rec. Ind. Mus. VI, 319 (December 
1911), the genus is characterised, but no species is quoted as type. The first 
species mentioned 1s ‘‘tetvaclada \Kieff.’’ (not described as new), and this is 
followed by two new species and by decipiens WKieff. described in 1910. Now 
in the Spolia Zeylanica VIII, 1, published January 1912, Prohelea is noted as a 
new subgenus, and fetraclada (described for the first time) is the second of 
five species described as new. On the face of it, 1t would appear as if the 
paper in the Spolia Zeylanica had been written first, but any way, that in the 
Rec. Ind. Mus. was undoubtedly published first, and therefore the correct original 
reference to the genws must be that of that journal. Following on this reasoning, 
the type must be either decipiens (a previously described species) or one of the 
two describedas new (cubicularis and himalayae). 1 propose decipiens as genotype 
on account of being the first described of the species now referred to Prohelea. Of 
course for the two new species described in the Spolia paper the original references 
will be that journal. 
2 Coquillett gives this latter genus as synonymous with Culicoides Latr., with 
O. furens Poey, as genotype.
