It may be added that X. viodesium Bruner (March, 1891), and X. 

 taeniatum Redtenbacher (July, 1891), are synonyms of X. saltans 

 Scudder (1872); and X. curtipenne Redtenbacher (1891), the same as 

 X. nemorale Scudder (1875). 



PHILANTHUS HENRICUS— (P. 153). 



This species should be credited to Mr. Dunning alone ; I neither 

 described nor named it. I did send Mr. Dunning a few Philanthidse, with 

 MS. names and descriptive notes, and these, in the event of publication, 

 should be credited jointly ; but F. hejiricus is not my species in any 

 sense. The type specimen, I should add, was collected by Professor 

 Townsend. T. D. A. Cockerell.
