8. Genus CEROTELION, Rondani 
Cerotelion. Rondani, Dipt. Ital. Prodromus, Vol. i, p. 191 (2) (i856). 
Characters. — Possesses the characters in general of Ceroplatus but differs in having a slightly 
different wing venation; namely, the anterior branch of the radial sector. Ra-i-.i enters the costa instead 
of Ri as with Ceroplatus. 
Type species : The type given by Rondani is C. laficoriiis A'leigen, now considered a synonvm 
of C. lineatus, Fabricius.

9. Genus HESPERODES, Coquillett 
Hesperodes. Coquillett, Ent. News, Vol. 11, p. 42g (rgoo). 
Characters. — ■ This genus resembles Hesperinus, but the media and the cubitus are united for 
a short distance crowding out the crossvein, as in Platyura. Subcosta ending in the costa beyond the base 
of the radial sector; Sca (subcostal crossvein) nearly midway between the humeral crossvein and the 
base of the radial sector, the latter forking beyond the apex of Rj ; media arising near the base of the 
cubitus, and just before its union with the radial sector connected by the crossvein with the upper branch 
of the cubitus, and forking a short distance beyond the union with the radius ; cubitus forking midway 
between the base of the radial sector and its union with the media ; anal vein prolonged to the wing 
margin. Antennae about twice as long as the head and thorax united, cylindrical but tapering to the
