page 107 note † In 1918 this species was selected by Kieffer as the type of a new genus, which he briefly characterised (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung., xvi, p. 135, 1918Google Scholar) under the name Holoconops, relying upon the number of joints in the antenna of the ♀ to justify a generic distinction. As was recently shown, however, by Mr. H. F. Carter in his admirable “Revision of the Genus Leptoconops, Skuse” (Bull. Ent. Res., xii, pt. 1, pp. 1–28, June 1921Google Scholar), it is impossible to accord to Holoconops, anything more than subgeneric rank.
