Comments.

Probaryconus is a cosmopolitan and variable genus that includes numerous elongate forms. We agree with the suggestion of Masner (1976) that Monoteleia represents a morphological extreme of Probaryconus , not a phylogenetically distinct lineage. Our concept of Probaryconus accommodates Monoteleia without issue, and we note that metasomal length alone has not proven to be of real use at the generic level anywhere in Platygastroidea.
