  Notes

  Type 
  and 
  cotype 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  much 
  pleasure 
  in 
  naming 
  this 
  species 
  after 
  the 
  

   collector, 
  to 
  whom 
  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  for 
  this 
  and 
  other 
  

   specimens. 
  

  

  Maeroteleia 
  erythrogaster 
  Ashmead. 
  

  

  Several 
  females 
  reared 
  from 
  base 
  of 
  grass, 
  Im]jerata 
  

   caudata, 
  containing 
  Tomasjns 
  carmodyi, 
  Issorora, 
  N. 
  AV. 
  

   District, 
  British 
  Gruiana, 
  2.vii.l6 
  (C. 
  B. 
  WiUiams). 
  The 
  

   type 
  locality 
  is 
  St. 
  Vincent, 
  West 
  Indies.

  Betterver- 
  

   wachting,

  Guiana, 
  24.V.16

  I 
  cannot 
  distinguish 
  any 
  generic 
  distinction 
  in 
  Kieffer's 
  

   genus; 
  the 
  species 
  zotale 
  Walker 
  is 
  unknown 
  to 
  me, 
  but 
  I 
  

   have 
  examined 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  duris 
  Walker, 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  typical 
  

   Maeroteleia 
  with 
  a 
  third 
  ill-defined 
  groove 
  on 
  the 
  scutum. 
  

   But 
  Kielfer 
  has 
  described 
  a 
  variety 
  trisidcata 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  

   Maeroteleia 
  gladiator 
  Kiefiter, 
  which 
  has 
  this 
  third 
  groove 
  ; 
  

   hence 
  both 
  Romilivs 
  and 
  Triteleia 
  should 
  fall, 
  probably, 
  as 
  

   synonyms 
  of 
  Maeroteleia.
