subspecies into two, with the nominate form occupying nearly the entire range of the 

 other segregate. 



Bassun analis Gravenhorst, 1807. Vergl. Uebers. Zool. Systeme, p. 266. Se.x not indicated. 

 In their tribal revision, Townes and Townes (1962) point out that the original 

 description of analis does not fit the ta.xon for which the name has traditionally been 

 used; lacking other evidence to indicate that Gravenhorst's original type material did 

 not include specimens of this taxon, they selected a lectotype which preserves the 

 traditional usage.

Genus TRYCHOSIS Foerster 



Trychosis Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verb. 25: 187. 



Type-species: Cryptus titillator Gravenhorst. Included and desig. by 



Schmiedeknecht, 1890. The type-species is Gravenhorst's misidentification of 

 Ichneumon titillator Linnaeus; the specimens which Gravenhorst identified as 

 titillator are now identified as T. niesocastana (Tschek) (see van Rossem, 1967). 

 Phaedrophadnus Cameron, 1906. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc, Jour. 17: 285. 



Type-species: Phaedrophadnus striatus Cameron. Monotypic. 

 Ethaemorpha Viereck, 1913. U. S. Natl. Mus., Proc. 44: 565. 



Type-species: Cryptus siniilis Cresson. Monotypic and orig. desig. 

 Orthocryptus Viereck, 1913. U. S. Natl. Mus., Proc. 44: 567. 



Type-species: Cryptus monticola Ashmead. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



There are a few species of this moderately large genus in the Oriental Region and one known 

 from the Neotropic Region, but Trychosis is otherwise Holarctic. Some of the species have been 

 reared from spider egg cocoons, and records of rearings from Lepidoptera may be erroneous.

 albicaligata (Walsh). Conn. s. to Va., w. to Mich., Kans., and Tex. In their tribal revision, 



Townes and Townes (1962) suggest that albicaligata may prove to be a junior synonym 

 of T. exulans (Cresson).
