Scudder has placed this fossil in the homothetids and rightly recoo- 

 nized its affinity with Chellphlehia. He, however, regarded the honio- 

 thetids as neiiropteroid forms.

On this fossil Scudder founded the ""neuropteran"' group Pabeop- 

 terina, which he t)rought into relation with the terniitids. Gerstilcker 

 considered the fossil aperlid; Brongniart, a ''neurorthopteron'' of the 

 family "Hadrobrachypoda;'' Brauer. on the other hand, found mor(> 

 affinity with the orthopteres.

Scudder placed this form also in the neuropteroid series, in the 

 Pala?opterina. Brauer stated that its systematic position was unde- 

 termined, hut found relationship with the sialids.

Melander wrongly referred this form to the dictyoneurs, which he 

 regarded as a protophasmid. I am tluMcfore forced to propose a nmv 

 generic name foi'the fossil.
