On the original illustration from Walker (1836), however, the widened wings and the OOL / LOL ratio are distinct. In the Palaearctic region there is no other Xenomerus species having this character combination. Members of Xenomerus ergenna were reared from eggs of Dromius sp. (Carabidae, Dromiini) (Bin, 1981). Szabo (1966) erected a the genus Niteogryon with type species Trimorus medon Walker and with a new species N. latimetascutum. Hellén (1971) synonimised Niteogryon with Xenomerus. Graham (1984) synonimised Trimorus medon with Xenomerus ergenna. The type specimen of Trimorus medon has well developed hyperoccipital carina, POL 2 x as long as OOL, smooth area posterior to the hyperoccipital carina, wider fore wings and enlarged posterior patch on T 3. Based on these character states T. medon is conspecific with X. ergenna. The type specimen of Niteogryon medon Szabo 1966 is most similar to Trimorus iphias Nixon 1936 whereas Trimorus latimetascutum comb. nov. is most similar if not conspecific with Trimorus clavicornis (Cameron 1912).	en	Mikó, I., Masner, L., Deans, A.

0124294A3154FFC8FF08FA80101CFC22.taxon	discussion	Comments. X. watshami varies in many characters including the body length. Most of variabilities seem to be associated with allometric change (e. g. the smaller specimens the shorter facial striae and sulci on T 3). Specimens of different size were collected at the same locality (e. g. length of specimens collected in RHODESIA (ZIMBABWE), Harare (Salisbury), Chishawasha vary between 1.02 and 1.39 mm).	en	Mikó, I., Masner, L., Deans, A.
