Extract

1894. Myrmosini, Tribe II. (partim), Fox; Proc. Acad, Sci., Phila., p. 273.

1896. Myrmosini, Tribe II. (partim), Ashmead; Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., XXII., p. 179,180.

1899. Methocinæ, Tribu 3e (partim) André; Spec. Hym. d'Eurr Tom. 8,p. 58 and 71.

1903. Methocinæ, subfamille (partim). André; Wytsman's Gen. Ins. Fam. Mutillidæ, p.6.

Mr. Ernest André's conception of this subfamily is erroneousl he has placed in it a number of genera that do not belong to the family Thynnidæat all, but are genuine Myrmosids, and represent my tribe Chyphotini. Moreover André has incorrectly classifed all of these genera in the family Mutillidæ an error Fox and myself also fell into years ago, before we had studied the Thynnidæ.
