 bizonatus (Cresson). Que. w. to Alta., s. to Md., Ky., and Colo. Ecology: Labels on four female 



specimens in the U. S. Natl. Museum collection indicate that they were collected in 



caves in late July, October, and November in Ky. and Pa.; Dasch (1971) collected a 



specimen in flight in Ohio during January or February.

 comes (Cresson), n. comb. N. Y., Pa., Del., Mich., 111. Heinrich failed to include this species in 

 his 1961 treatment of Pseudamblyteles; in a supplement to that work, Heinrich (1969) 

 gave a redescription of the male of comes based upon the "holotype" from "no locality," 

 and a specimen from Pa.; in the original description Cresson indicated that he had 

 specimens from 111. and Del., and Cresson (1916) selected a lectotype from Illinois which 

 was "in good condition." The specimen referred to as the "holotype" by Heinrich (1969) 

 had the "Sternites and hypopygium destroyed by dermestids."

 Diphyus variegatus euxoae Heinrich, 1969. Nat. Canad. 96: 960. 3, 9. N. syn.; because 



Heinrich's treatment of eiixoae as a subspecies of variegatus was tentative, this 



synonymy is also tentative. 

 Diphyus variegatus orientis Heinrich, 1969. Nat. Canad. 96: 962. 9. N. syn.; based upon a 



single female with "only slight" differences from females in the type series of euxoae.
