-ales, -alis, -eles. 



Anopheles, Cefopales, Corydalis, Eristalis, Eupsalis, Pyralis, 

 Ortalis, Slalis. But -alis used in species names accents the 

 penult : farinalis, discalis, purpuralis. Nocheles, Apdn- 

 teles, Lophoteles, Conotelus have a short e of the root in 

 the penultimate syllable. 

 -ides, -iades. 



Herlades, Dalcerides, Mystdcides, Nisomades. But Iphi- 

 clldes, from the Greek Iphikleides, according to a special 

 rule affecting patronymics ending in -es (Iphiklees). 

 -ion. 



Agrion, Apion, Chldrion, Elaphidion, Ophion, Zodion. But 

 Diprion (prion, saw). When such words come directly 

 into English from the Greek the penult is pronounced long, 

 e. g. Orion. 

 -arus, -aris. 



Afnara, Hilara, Sciara, Chdlarus, Cdntharis, Hemaris. In^ 

 Trichobaris the long a belongs to the stem. 

 -eva. 



Thereva, Choleva, Lest eva, Atteva. 

 -ica. 



Hdltica, Serica, Podagrica, Tomicus. 



Names ending in -inus, -ina are perplexing. Among the most 

 familiar the following have a long penult : Balaninus, Blapstlnus, 

 Brachlnus, Carposina, Clivina, Gyrlnus, Hcematopinus, Harrislna, 

 Lycoperdlna, MeUlnus, Peleclnus, Saprinus, Staphyllnus. The 

 Latin name Licmus and the Greek forms Cerdtina, Scenopinus, 

 Thinopinus, Xantholinus, Tdchina and Tdchinus have the penult 

 short. Subfamily and tribal names ending in -inse, -ini, have a 

 long penult ; thus, Carabinge, Harpalini. 



The following list includes a miscellaneous set of names often 

 mispronounced: Ancylis, Anthicus, Antisplla, Brachystegus, 

 Callgo, Callidryas, Calligrapha, Ceropales, Cucujus, Chauliogna- 

 thus, Cheldnus, Chermes, Schizoneura (Greek ch is always like 

 k), Coecinella, Dlplax, Emesa, Endomychus, Erdtylus, Eudamus, 

 Eurema, Eikrymus, Feniseca, Graptolitha, Hippodamia, Hypatus, 

 Icerya, Lagda, Lepidosaphes, Lophyrus, Lymexylon, Macrdphya,
