 nigriventris (Thomson). Que. w. to B. C, s. to s.w. N. C, Mich., Colo., and Oreg; Eurasia. In 



describing nigriventris Thomson stated that it is the species for which Taschenberg 



(1865) had used the name Phygadeuon caliginosus Gravenhorst (1829). Apparently 



Thomson was mistai<en because Taschenberg applied the name caliginosus to 



Gravenhorst's male, and a male which was selected as lectotype of caliginosus by Frilli 



(1975) was identified by Frilli as a species of Phygadeuon.

 Phygadeuon nitiduhis Provancher, 1879. Nat. Canad. 11: 70. Unnecessarily proposed n. 



name for M. nitidus; although nitidus was preocc. in Phygadeuon by Gravenhorst, 1829, 



Provancher could have used the name ruficoxus for the species because he suppressed 



Mesostenus ruficoxus (as "ruficornis [!]") Provancher and Cryptus ruficoxus 



Provancher as synonyms of Jiitidulus.

 pallidas (Cresson). Que. w. to B. C, s. to n.w. S C, Ark., and Kans. In the tribal revision of

 pentagonalis (Provancher). Ont. According to Barron (1975) pentagonalis was incorrectly 



suppressed as a synonym of Cubocephaius alacris canadensis (Provancher) (= alacris 



Cresson) by Townes (1962), the latter author apparently having erroneously disregarded 



the lectotype selected by Gahan and Rohwer (1917).
