the subapical incision is found closer to the tip of the hook (e.g., 
Fig. 207). Princis (i960) placed Oxycercus in the Laxtinae, a sub- 
family which McKittrick did not recognize and which Princis 
considers provisional (Roth, 1907b). The L2d and prepuce of 
Oxycercus (Fig. 206) are clearly those of Brachycolini and near 
Parahormetica (Fig. 203). Caudell’s record of Oxycercus peruvianus 
from Peru is an error (Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 44: p. 350: 1913). 
I examined his specimen at the USNM and found it to be a species 
of Parahormetica.
