Paniscus Quebecensis Provancher, 1874. Nat. Canad. 6: 106. "9"=cJ ? (6 misdet). 

 Provancher's description of the "female" agrees with suaveolens, but according to 

 Barron (1975) the only suaveolens female in the Provancher collections was collected too 

 recently to be a syntype of E. Quebecensis. Because there are five suaveolens males in 

 the Provancher collections which cannot be otherwise excluded as possible syntypes, it 

 would seem logical to conclude that Provancher misdetermined the sex of his E. 

 Quebecensis "female."

Type-species: Agathilla fulvopicta Westwood. Monotypic.

 Arizona. 



bradleyi (Viereck). N. J., n. Va., n. Ohio, s. 111., n.e. Kans. Host: Cirrophanus triangulifer Grt. 

 This is obviously the species upon which Ashmead (1900) based his description of 

 Agathobanchus; however, because Ashmead misidentified bradleyi as Banchus aeqiiatus 

 Say, Agathobanchus is placed as a synonym oi Acroricnus (which see) rather than 

 Agathilla.
