THE GENOTYPES OF SAWFLIES AND WOODWASPS. 101 



The differences between these two groups are hardly of generic 

 importance and could better be treated as subgenera, the arrangement 

 being as follows: 



Genus Caliroa O. Costa, 1859. 



Subgenus Caliroa O. Costa, 1859. 

 Endelomyia Ashmead, 1898. 

 Subgenus Eriocampoides Konow, 1890. (See Peridistoptera, p. 86.) 



CIMBEX AND ALLIES. 



Olivier (Encycl. Method., vol. 4, p. 22, 1789) characterized his genus 

 Clavellarius, but included no species in it. No species was ever placed 

 in the genus, but in 1791 (Encycl. Method., vol. 6, p. 18) Olivier says 

 that he changed the name to Cimhex because of the resemblance to the 

 botanical genus Clavaria. In the Encyclopedic Methodique, volume 

 5, page 764, 1790, the genus Cimhex is described and sixteen species are 

 placed in it. Since Clavellarius had no standing until 1791 it must 

 rank as a synonym of Cimhex as Olivier would have it. 



Lamarck (Systeme des Animaux sans vertebres, p. 264, 1801) char- 

 acterized the genus Clavellaria, accrediting it to Olivier, but Olivier's 

 genus was Clavellarius. The only species placed in Clavellaria by 

 Lamarck was Tenihredo lutea Linnaeus, the genus being monobasic with 

 Tenthredo lutea as the type. Latreille (Considerations Generales, 

 1810), however, gave, as the type of Cimhex, Tenthredo lutea Linnaeus, 

 so Clavellaria Lamarck is a synonym of Cimhex, the genera being 

 isogenotypic. 



W.A.wSchultz (Spolia Hymenopterologica, p. 87, 1906) proposed the 

 name Pseudoclavellaria for Clavellaria Leach and authors. 



The synonymy is as follows : 



Cimbex Olivier (Encycl. Method., vol. 5, p. 764, 1790). 



Clavellarius Olivier (Encycl. Method., vol. 4, p. 22, 1789; Encycl. Method., vol. 6, 

 p. 18, 1791). 



Clavellaria Lamarck (Syst. Anim. sans. Vert., p. 264, 1801). 

 Pseudoclavellaria Schultz (Spolia Hym., p. 87, 1906). 



Clavellaria Leach (Zool. Misc., vol. 3, p. Ill, 1817; and authors). 



The above conclusions differ somewhat from those reached by 

 Schultz (Spolia Hym., 1906), but it is believed that they are correct. 



SYZYGONIA AND ALLIES. 



Klug (Ent. Mon., p. 175, 1824) described his genus Syzygoriia and 

 included two species, cyanoptera Klug and cyanocepJiala Klug. Dr. 

 William H. Ashmead (Can. Ent., p. 230, September, 1898) fixed the 

 type of King's genus as cyanocepJiala and described a genus which he 

 called Syzygonidea for Syzygonia cyanea Brulle. Brulle (Hist. Nat. 

 Ins. Hym., vol. 4, p. 671, 1846), in his remarks on /Sysy^oma, mentions 

 no species, but refers to plate 48 (fig. 2), where he figures Syzygonia
