Unplaced Taxa of Gravenhorstiini 



Anomalon exnifum Walkley, 1958. In Krombein et ai, U. S. Dept. Agr., Agr. Monog. 2, sup. 1, 

 p. 62. N. name for Anomalon rufus Provancher (which see). 



Anomalon nigrituw Norton, 1863. Ent. Soc Phila., Proc. 1: 363. 6. Mass. Gauld's (1976) 



placement of this species in Gravenhorstia (Erigorgus) was based upon a specimen from 

 Mexico identified as A. nigrituni by Morley (1913). Morley's identification could not 

 serve to fix the identity of A. nigrituni (the holotype of which is lost) unless it can be 

 shown (1) that Morley's Mexican species also occurs in Mass. and (2) that specimens 

 from Mass. also agree with Norton's description (the combination seeming very 

 improbable).
