SYNOPSIS OF NOMADINÆ

Extract

This paper is intended to give the results of the study of the local species.

Unless otherwise indicated, vein a = basal nervure; vein V2= transverse medial nervure; vein rm= first cubital nervure; cell III1+2= marginal cell; cell III5 = second cubtial cell; “joint” refers to antennæ; “segment” refers to abdomen.

There has been enough confusion in this group to suit the most stupid of lumpers. It takes a mystagogue to identify a species from a description of its oranaments. Such descriptions are regular pitfalls—regular synonym-traps.
