p. 1022: Before Atrichomelina Cresson insert:

“ Anticheta Haliday. Anticheta is unique in that every known species feeds, at least as first-instar larvae, on snail egg masses. A characteristic of Anticheta is the presence of two dorsal preapical setae on the hind tibia.

One species, A. testacea Melander , ranges from Canada south to Mexico (Baja California), while another species, A. patzcuaroensis , occurs in Michoacán, Mexico.”
