Extract

Walker (1866) described Chauliodes disjunctus on the basis of a single female from Vancouver Island. Davis (1903) identified males and females from California as belonging to this species and noted that the male antennae were pilose and as long as the head and thorax combined. Supposing Davis' observation to have been based on a broken specimen, van der Weele (1910) referred C. disjunctus to Neohermes Banks, 1908, as a close ally and probable synonym of Neohermes californicus (Walker), a species in the male of which the antennae are as long as the body and are provided with segmental whorls of long hair.
