This is apparently a moderate sized genus of the Holarctic and Ethiopian Regions. Perkins 

 (1959) placed Deloglyptus as a synonym of Dicaelotus because he thought the differences 

 between them were rather weak. He said that if a division is made between them, other groups 

 of species should also be split off as genera distinct from Dicaelotus. I assume, therefore, that 

 Perkins's (1969) treatment of DeloglyptuN as distinct from Dicaelotiiti was for the purpose of 

 making the first revisor decision to suppress Leptodeman as a synonym of Deloglyptus. Con- 

 sequently, I have not followed Townes and Townes (1973), who treated Deloglyptus as a distinct 

 genus.

 attenuatus (Provancher). Que., Conn., w. B. C. Because the range, "Atlantic to Cont. Divide in 



Transit, and U. Austr. Zones," given by Townes and Townes (1951) conflicts with the 



type-localities of two of their synonyms, one is inclined to doubt the correctness of their 



synonymy and to wonder about the sort of data they generally used to make their 



sweeping generalizations about the ranges of species.

359. 9. Barron (1975) said that the lectotype selected by Rohwer and Gahan (1918) is 



now represented only by the pin and labels.
