On the Rhynchotal Family Lvgseida*. 173 



Genus Cgelostephanus, Kieff. 

 Caslostephanus, Kieff. Ann. Soc. Entom. France, p. 232 (1911). 



This genus, created by Kieffer for the Mexican G. rufus, 

 Kieff., must sink as a synonym of Gymnoscelus. The hind 

 femora are missing in the type. The first tergite is smooth, 

 and the second transverse cubital nervure is not oblique ; 

 otherwise it does not differ appreciably from Gymnoscelus. 

 Kieffer placed his genus in the Stephanidaa, quite erroneously.
