On Hymenoptera in the British Museum. 331 



ffonum spinipes, 0. Fabricius, which had since been recog- 

 nized as belonging to Pseudopallene, Wilson, 1878. The 

 result has been accepted by some good authorities that 

 Pseudopallene becomes a synonym of Pkoxichilus. Dr. Loman 

 disputes this, on the ground that Latreille subsequently 

 changed his definition of Pho.vlchilus, and that the specimen 

 with which he was dealing was, in tact, a Pallenopsis and 

 not a Pseudopallene. But this interesting determination does 

 not alter the fact that Phoxichilus was originally established 

 tor P. spinipes and cannot be separated from it. Dr. Loman's 

 endeavour to effect this divorce only adds to the confusion 

 which he so much deplores. As to the genus Chilophoxus } 

 which I deemed it necessary to name in 1902, it is proper to 

 mention that Canon Norman in 1908 made it a synonym of 

 Endeis, Philippi, 1843, a view declined by Dr. Loman but 

 endorsed by Dr. Caiman in this current year (1915). It is 

 not, however, within the scope of this present paper to discuss 

 the conflicting arguments of these distinguished authorities.

The following paper may be considered a continuation of 

 that published in Ann.& Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xiv. pp. 402-410 

 (1914). As on that occasion, most of the material dealt with 

 is contained in the Cameron Collection, now the property of 

 the British Museum.
