- <p><b>Neotropical Corylophinae: Aenigmaticini</b></p><p><i>Ectinocephalus</i> Matthews, 1888: 105.</p><p>Type species: <i>Ectinocephalus tropicus</i> Matthews, 1888 (by monotypy).</p><p><i>Conodes</i> Matthews, 1888: 107. Type species: <i>Conodes conicus</i> Matthews, 1888 (by monotypy). <b>New synonymy.</b></p><p><b>Notes.</b> The synonymy of <i>Conodes</i> with <i>Ectinocephalus</i> was suggested previously by Pakaluk and Lawrence (1986) who included the genus in a paraphyletic Orthoperini. Dissections of the female type specimens confirm the generic synonymy resulting in the <b>new combination</b> <i>Ectinocephalus conicus</i> (Matthews). <i>Ectinocephalus</i> can be distinguished from other members of Aenigmaticini by having the prothorax widest at the base and a 10­segmented antennal club.</p><p><b>Material Examined</b> (BMNH).
