Atriadops Wandolleck, 1897 
Type by present designation : Colax javanus Wiedemann, 
1824. 
There appear to be only two well-established species of 
Atriadops: A. vespertilio (Loew) (= A. africana Wandol- 
leck; A. cinnamomea Brunetti), a widely distributed Ethi- 
opian insect, and A. javana (Wiedemann) of the Oriental 
Region. A. macula (Wiedemann), described from Brazil, 
is known only from the type, which, according to Licht- 
wardt, is labelled “Bahia.” It is so poorly preserved that 
Lichtwardt was unable to decide whether it belonged to 
Atriadops. No specimen of Atriadops has been recorded 
from the New World for over a century.
