            <p> Scolomus Townes &amp; Townes</p>
            <p> Scolomus Townes &amp; Townes, 1950: 420 . Type­species:  Scolomus viridis Townes , by original designation. </p>
            <p> Apolophus Townes, 1971: 111 . Type­species:  Apolophus borealis Townes ), by original designation. Syn. nov. </p>
            <p> borealis (Townes, 1971) comb. n. [Nearctic, W. Palaearctic]  magellanicus Walkley, 1962 [Neantarctic] </p>
            <p> talamanca (Gauld &amp; Sithole, 2002) comb. n. [Neotropical]  viridis Townes &amp; Townes, 1950 [Neantarctic] </p>
            <p>In addition to the four described species mentioned above, we have seen seven undescribed species from Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador in the AEIC (labelled as such by us).</p>
            <p> For reasons given in the discussion below, the redefined genus  Scolomus is placed in the  Metopiinae , and it may be recognized by the following features: </p>
            <p>head rather elongate, with an exceptionally long malar space, 1.2–1.8 times basal mandibular width (Figs. 2, 5);</p>
            <p>clypeus large, subquadrate, with supraclypeal suture weakly impressed to absent, thus in most species with face and clypeus more or less forming a single smooth plane (Figs. 2, 5);</p>
            <p>occipital carina ventrally incomplete;</p>
            <p>mandibles slender with ventral tooth about 0.5 or less of length of dorsal tooth; fore wing with areolet quadrate to pentagonal (Figs. 1, 4);</p>
            <p>fore wing with broad and triangular pterostigma (Figs. 1, 4);</p>
            <p>hind wing with basal abscissa of vein M+Cu 1 strongly arched, and the distal abscissa of vein Cu 1 joining vein cu­a far closer to vein 1 A than to vein M (Figs. 1, 4);</p>
            <p>metasoma with 1st tergite with median basal depression bordered laterally by raised sides, glymmae deep meeting at midline and often only separated by a translucent partition;</p>
            <p>female with hypopygium large, bowed, but not medioventrally folded.</p>
            <p>ovipositor slender, slightly upcurved and lacking dorsal subapical notch.</p>
