Psyche 
[December 
The name Pelptiopsus mitratus (Uhler MS) employed by 
Pedro Valdes (1910a: 443) for a specimen, No. 777, in the 
Gundlach Museum, Havana, is a synonym. 
Colgorma Kirk 
This name was proposed by Kirkaldy, 1904b : 279, to take 
the place of Temora Kirkaldy, 1901a: 6, which was to take 
the place of Rudia Stal, 1866a :187, nec Costa 1861, Hymen- 
optera. Unfortunately Temora Kirkaldy, 1901, was pre- 
occupied by Temora Baird, 1860, a genus of Crustacea . 
Since Stal, 1866c: 392, made Achilus dilutus Stal, 1859b: 
271, the type of the genus Rudia, it is the type of the genus 
Colgorma. Melichar, 1914f: 79, uses Temora Kirk, with 
Achilus dilutus Stal as the type, and places it in the tribe 
Tambiniini and Colgorma Kirk with type C. fotvleriana 
Kirk and places it in the tribe Paricanini. The tribe Tam- 
biniini is distinguished from the tribe Paricanini by both 
Melichar and Muir because the genera in the former tribe 
have the “cross line distad of the middle of the wing,” 
whereas in the latter tribe the “cross-vein is basad of the 
middle of the wing.” Assuming that this is correct, and 
assuming further that Rudia diluta as figured by Fowler, 
1904b, PL 11, Fig. 10, is correct and really represents 
diluta, as Fowler states that he compared his specimens 
with the type, Colgorma Kirk type Achilus dilutus Stal 
would fall in the tribe Tambiniini and would include Temora 
Kirkaldy as used by Melichar. This genus would include, 
therefore, the three species C. diluta Stal, C. proxima Fowl 
and C. verticalis Fowl. In regard to Achilus bicinctus 
Spinola, 1839a : 321, and Rudia bicincta Fowler, 1904b : 105, 
Kirkaldy, 1907b : 249, believed that these were distinct spe- 
cies, and he renamed the latter Colgorma fowleriana. 
Careful examination of the two descriptions and figures 
would lead us to believe that these are the same or closely 
related species. They differ in several respects from typical 
Colgorma, the most important being that the first branch 
of cubitus is not branched before the transverse line as it 
is in Colgorma. We would suggest, therefore, a new 
genus Achilorma, type Achilius bicinctus Spinola, and in- 
cluding the Colgorma fowleriana Kirk.
