Founded for C. crabroniformis, Roder; C. mi'dleri. Roder^ 

 was added in 1892. The author distinguishes the genns 

 fi'om Lapimts, Loew (now^ Neolaparus), by the stout spine 

 on each side of the thorax and by the closed or very much 

 narrowed first posterior cell ; this last distinction will not 

 hold good, as two of the species now added to this genus 

 both have the cell open, but possess the stout spine on the 

 thorax which will serve to divide the genus from NeoJaparns, 

 Dasi/poyon albopinictatas, ^lacq., of which Dasypoyon spiather, 

 AVlk., IS a synonym, was pla(,'ed by Schiner under AVo/a/;ar«6-, 

 but belongs to this newer genus. 



The genus will now include the following species : —
