Extract

This genus was named by Enderlein for the reception of a single species, S. cornutiventris Enderlein, from Peru. No indication was given as to the systematic position of the genus, but the generic characters were clearly indicated and it is evident that it belongs—on the basis of Crawford's system, at least—in the subfamily Cherminae, which is Crawford's subfamily Carsidarinae. In fact, on the basis of Crawford's keys it would apparently run to Chermes (=Homotoma). On the basis of the very brief characterization of this genus elsewhere given by Enderlein it would appear that the genus Synoza is sufficiently distinct by reason of the curious venation of the wings alone.
