Physoconops pictus (Fabricius) 
In the above mentioned paper (p. 166), the specimens 
from Havana, Cuba, and Manneville, Haiti, recorded from 
the U.S. National Museum, likewise belonged to the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, and have been returned 
to that collection. 
Physoconops (Shannonoconops) apicalis Camras 
1955, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 105, 172. 
This distinctive form was described from a male from 
Mato Grosso, Brazil, and a female from Peru. Since then, 
I have received a male and a female from Nova Teutonia, 
Santa Catarina, Brazil, collected by F. Plaumann. 
Physoconops analis (Fabricius) 
This name replaces Physoconops angustifrons (Willis- 
ton) in my review (1955, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 105, 178). 
This important change of names has been made in my 
paper on New World Physocephala (1957, Ann. Ent. Soc. 
Am. 50, 217), but is repeated here as it is apt to be over- 
looked.
