Cephalia myrmecoides Loew, 1860 View in CoL (fig. 6)

Valid name. Myrmecothea myrmecoides (Loew, 1860) (Ulidiidae) .

Cephalia myrmecoides Loew, 1860: 24 View in CoL (Washington, D.C.).

Myrmecothea myrmecoides: Hendel, 1910: 310, 1914: 16 View in CoL ; Steyskal, 1961: 404; 1965: 646; Wallace, 2021: 9, 14, 69.

Material. Type. Holotype Ơ: “Type /13244”, “Loew. / coll.” ( MCZ). Non-type. USA: Maryland, Chevy

Chase, 30.05.1964 2 Ơ (P. P. Babiy leg.) ( MCZ); Virginia: “DixieLndg //5.30 Va.”, coll. Hendel ”, 2 ♀ ( NHMW) .

R e m a r k s: Hendel (1910) established a separate genus based on a single autapomorphy which differentiates it from Cephalia : i. e. anal lobe and alula absent; most other characters are similar to Cephalia rufipes . Should Cephalia be found to contain more than one species, Myrmecothea should be considered a derived terminal taxon rather than its sister taxon.
