Oil the Hhynchutal Family LygJciJiv. 173 



Genus CCELOSTEPHANUS, Kieff. 

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



Tliis genus, created by Kiefler for the Mexican G. rtifus, 

 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 Stephanidye, quite erroneously.
