.phaloniae WII.K. (Palaearctic Region) are extremely similar to each other as it was indicated by NIXON (1972) too. Herewith 1 point out the differences which I consider as specific features, established by the examination of authentically identified female and male specimens (det. MARSH), and paratypes (1 J , 1 á), respectively : A. homoeosomae MUES. 1. Head (in dorsal view) distinctly not so wide as thorax between tegulae. 2. First tergite 1.4 times longer than wide at hind ( Fig. 194). 3. Ocelli forming a low triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus distinctly transecting posterior pair. Distance between fore and a hind ocelli visibly shorter than diameter of one hind ocellus. 2. Inner spur of hind tibia shorter than half basitarsus. A. phaloniae WILK. 1. Head at most indistinctly not so wide as thorax between tegulae. 2. First tergite 1.2-1.25 times longer than wide at hind (Fig. 214). 3. Ocelli forming a relatively high triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus touching (or at most indistinctly transecting) posterior pair. Distance between fore and a hind ocelli as long as diameter of one hind ocellus. 4. Inner spur of hind tibia as long as half basitarsus.
