Rhiscosomides montereum (Chamberlin) 
Tingupa monterea Chamberlin, 1910, Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer. 3: 240-241, 
figs. 3-5, sex not specified. 
Rhiscosomides monterea, Shear, 1972, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 144(4): 262. 
Type: Holotype of unspecified sex from Pacific Grove, California, 
collected June, 1902, lost, presumed destroyed. 
Notes: Little more can be said about this form until males are 
discovered, but as I earlier pointed out (Shear, 1972), the detailed 
description of the nonsexual characters leaves no doubt that this 
species belongs to Rhiscosomides and not to Tingupa. There are 
eight ocelli. An immature Rhiscosomides female from San Mateo 
County, California, also has eight ocelli, and may be an example of 
R. montereum . 
The change in spelling of the specific epithet, which I did not ob- 
serve in my 1972 report, is made necessary by the gender of the 
generic name.

Rhiscosomides mineri Silvestri, 1913, Boll. Lab. Zool. Portici 7: 308-310, 
figs. 4-7, $ ; Shear, 1972, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 141(4): 261-262. 
Type: Male holotype from a rotting log, Lebanon, Linn Co., 
Oregon; whereabout of specimen unknown, not examined. Silvestri’s 
excellent figures (Silvestri, 1913) leave no doubt about the identity 
of this species. 
Description: Male from 5 mi east of Yamhill, Yamhill Co., Ore- 
gon; length, 7.1 mm, width, 1.12 mm. Body of typical form, head 
broad, front somewhat flattened, depressed in anterior midline, su- 
prantennal swellings moderate. Antennae short, strongly clavate, 
reflexed along sides of head, reaching anterior margin of segment 4 
when fully extended. Ocelli seven, in two rows of three and four. 
Collum broader than head, lateral margins only a little deflexed 
ventrad, posteriolateral corners rounded, curved anteriad, anterior 
margin sinuous, posterior margin arcuate. Segments with rather 
narrow, polydesmiform paranota at first curved forward, posterio- 
lateral corners becoming acute, reflexed posteriad, anterior and pos-
