HENDELINA new name 
Pseudopheniscus 1913. Suppl. Ent. 2:82. 
Pseudospheniscus Hendel 1914. Wien Ent. 
Zeitung 33:83. 
Pseudopheniscus Hendel was an erroneous 
spelling which was corrected to Pseudo- 
spheniscus by Hendel in 1914. The genus was 
based upon sexmaculata, which Hendel trans- 
ferred from Spheniscus Becker {Spheniscomyia 
Bezzi = change of name for Sphaeniscus Becker 
I9O8 — emended to Spheniscus by Bezzi 1913 — 
nec Spheniscus Brisson 1760). Hendel (1915: 
451) stated that through an oversight he 
had indicated a false type for Pseudosphenis- 
cus— thdX the genotype should be angulatus 
Hendel, not sexmaculatus Macq. The name 
Pseudopheniscus would therefore be a synonym 
of Spheniscus Becker because of the error 
made in choosing the original genotype. 
The name Pseudospheniscus Hendel (as has 
been used in literature since Hendel cor- 
rected the spelling) is preoccupied in the 
birds by Pseudospheniscus (Ameghino, 1906). 
If the original spelling Pseudopheniscus is 
accepted, the name would have to fall as a 
synonym since the on]y included species, 
sexmaculata, belongs in Spheniscomyia. If the 
corrected spelling Pseudospheniscus is accepted, 
the name has to be discarded as a homonym. 
This is apparently the first published record 
of this genus from Australia. Mr. Alan May 
(in correspondence) has informed me that 
"two species of Pseudospheniscus hifidus Bezzi 
and fossatus? occur in Australia both being 
represented in Perkins’ collection and both 
taken in North Queensland." I doubt that 
fossatus (Fabricius) actually occurs in Australia 
and believe that the specimens in Perkins’ 
collection may belong to the new species 
discussed below. 
The genus is distinguished from other 
Trypetinae by having four marginal scutellar 
bristles, by possessing dorsocentral bristles, 
by having two to three pairs of inferior fronto- 
orbital bristles and two pairs of superior 
fronto-orbitals, by the comparatively weak 
ocellar bristles which are much shorter than 
the superior fronto-orbitals, and by having 
the front narrower than the eyes and usually 
two or more times longer than wide. 
The genus is closely related to Neanomoea 
Hendel and is distinguished by the narrow 
front. The Australian species at hand has the 
front about two times longer than wide and 
much narrower than the eyes. In Neanomoea 
the front is broader than the eyes and is only 
about one and one-half times longer than 
wide. It differs from Anomoea Walker, as 
characterized by Malloch (1939^:448-449), 
by not having the antepenultimate section 
of the fourth vein (M1+2) bent downward 
just before the r-m crossvein. It differs from 
Phagocarpus Rondani as characterized by 
Bezzi (1913: 130-131), Shiraki (1933: 182- 
184), and Hering (1938: 20) by not having 
the discal cell (1st M2) sharply pointed on 
lower apex or the m crossvein oblique in 
position.
