1924] Notes Upon Surcoufs Treatment of the Tahanidoe 29 
Metoponaplos Ricardo, Arch. f. Naturgesch., LXXX, Abt. 
A, Heft 8, (1914) 1915, p. 124. Type by original designation: 
Pangonia parva Walker, 1848. According to Enderlein (Mitt. 
Zool. Mus. Berlin, X, 2, 1922, p. 342), this is a synonym of 
Scarphia Walker, 1850, a view with which I fully concur. 
Merycomyia Hine, Ohio Naturalist, XII, 1912, p. 515. 
Type by original designation: Tahanus whitneyi Johnson, 1904 
(Syn.: Merycomyia geminata Hine, 1912). North America. 
Neochrysops Walton, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, XX, 1918, 
p. 191. Monotypic for N. globosus Walton, 1918. North 
America. 
Neotabanus Ad. Lutz, Mem. Inst. Osw. Cruz, VI, 1914, p. 
167. Type: Tahanus trilineatus LMreiWe, 1S14. South America. 
Ad. Lutz (Ibidem, p. 47) claims that his generic name has 
priorit}^ over Neotabanus Ricardo, 1911, but I have been unable 
to discover on what evidence this statement is based. 
Orthostylus Ad. Lutz and A. Neiva, Mem. Inst. Osw. Cruz, 
VI, 1914, p. 74. Monotypic for 0. ambiguus Ad. Lutz and A. 
Neiva, 1914. South America. 
Palimmecomyia Taylor, Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, 
XLII, 1917, p. 518. Monotypic for P. celcenospila Taylor, 
1917. Queensland.

Australia. 
Phceomyia Ad. Lutz, Mem. Inst. Osw. Cruz, III, 1911, p. 
83. Evidently a misspelling for Phceoneura.

2, 1920, p. 165. New name for Elaphromyia Taylor (Proc. Linn. 
Soc. New South Wales, XLI, 1917, p. 749), not of Bigot, 1859. 
Monotypic for Elaphromyia carteri Taylor, 1917. Queensland. 
Philorites Cockerell. Entomologist, XLI, 1908, p. 264. 
Monotypic for P. johannseni Cockerell, 1908. Fossil in the
