American Priophanes the species will run to Arneragenia in Townes’ 
( 1 957 ) key. I would regard Parageniella as still another synonym 
of Arneragenia (new synonymy). 
Cosmagenia Haupt 
Cosmagenia Haupt, 1959, pp. 28, 63 (type-species: Agenia amabilis Tas- 
chenberg, 1869, by designation). 
I have studied Haupt’s material of amabilis and found it con- 
specific with Ageniella amoena Banks, 1946. Since Haupt presum- 
ably had access to Taschenberg’s types, it seems safe to place amoena 
in the synonymy of amabilis (new synonymy). This species is prop- 
erly placed in the genus Priocnemella Banks, 1925, and Cosmagenia 
can thus be relegated to the synonymy of that genus (new syn- 
onymy) . 
Compsagenia Haupt 
Compsagenia Haupt, 1959, pp. 29, 66 (type-species: Compsagenia laevipes 
Haupt, 1959, monotypic and by designation). 
Study of the type specimen of laevipes shows it to be conspecific 
with the type of Nannochilus ' obscurus Banks, 1946 (new syn- 
onymy). Townes (1957) has correctly placed Nannochilus in the 
synonymy of Minagenia Banks, 1934, and Compsagenia Haupt 
should now be added to the list (new synonymy). Since levipes 
Cresson, 1869, also belongs to this genus, Haupt’s laevipes is both 
a homonym and a synonym. Townes assigns Minagenia to the sub- 
family Ceropalinae, tribe Minageniini. I would assign it to the 
Pepsinae, but I do not pretend to understand how the genera should 
be grouped within that subfamily; at any rate Minagenia does not 
belong in the Auplopodini. 
Anapriocnemis Haupt 
Anapriocnemis Haupt, 1959, pp. 25-26, 60-61 (type-species: Pompilus flavipes 
Guerin, 1836, by designation). 
P. flavipes is a well known Chilean species which has been as- 
signed by Townes (1957) to the genus Priocnemis, subgenus Sphic- 
tostet fins Kohl, along with the other two species assigned by Haupt 
to Anapriocnemis. Since the type of Sphictostethus has a brachypter- 
ous female, it might be argued that flavipes is not correctly assigned 
to that subgenus (though I would not so argue) ; in any case Ana- 
priocnemis may be placed in the synonymy of Priocnemis Schiodte,
