Extract

The subgenus Hagenomyia, of the genus Simulium, was erected by Shewell (1959) for Simulium pictipes Hagen, 1880, and S. longistylatum Shewell, 1959. Unfortunately, Hagenomyia Shewell is a junior homonym of Hagenomyia Banks (1911, p. 8) created for H. tristis (Hagen), an African myrmeleontid (Neuroptera). This matter was drawn to the attention of Mr. Shewell some time ago, and he has requested that I act on it.
