wyomingensis (Viereck). N. S. w. to s. B. C, s. to s.w. Va., Ohio, and w. Wyo. In Walley's 



(1940) revision of Dusona, wyomingensis was incorrectly suppressed as a synonym of 

 diversa (which see).

 Genus LEPTOCAMPOPLEX Horstmann 



Leptocampoplex Horstmann, 1970. Bayer. Ent., Nachrichtenbl. 19: 78. 



Type-species: Nemeritis cremastoides Holmgren. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



A single Holarctic species is known. The genus appears to be closely related to Menaka Gupta 

 and Gupta (1971), from which Leptocampoplex differs principally by lacking the second intercu- 

 bitus. The name Porizon was incorrectly applied to Leptocampoplex by Townes (1965, 1970); see 

 the introductory discussion of Porizon.

 cremastoides (Holmgren). Ont., Mich.; Europe. Host: Ptilinus pectinicomis (L.)? Townes 

 (1970) gave the Nearctic range as "eastern North America" in referring to what he 

 regarded as being an undescribed Nearctic species. Horstmann (1970) stated that he 

 believed the Nearctic specimens he had seen (apparently borrowed from Townes) to 

 represent only an undescribed subspecies of cremastoides, differing from the European 

 one in having the underside of the scape pale (i.e. "helle"). In view of the fact that the 

 known Nearctic range of cremastoides is not similar to that of most Holarctic 

 ichneumonid species, proof that cremastoides is not adventive in North America should 

 precede validation of a name for the Nearctic population. The host record cited with a 

 query above pertains to a specimen acquired from A. W. Stelfox by the U. S. Natl. 

 Museum; the specimen is labeled "? parasitic on Ptilinus pectinicomis!"

Genus PYRACMON Holmgren

 Type-species: Porizon fumipennis Zetterstedt. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This is a small Holarctic genus. Townes (1970) knew five species, one of them being an un- 

 described Nearctic species. Dr. John Barron has informed me (personal commun., 1977) that the 

 latter has been reared from Elateridae and will be described by Mr. G. S. Walley. Dr. Klaus 

 Horstmann will probably have published a revision of the European species prior to the ap- 

 pearance of this catalog.

 sepiella (Holmgren). N. H., Mich.; Eurasia. Host: Macropogoyi piceus LeC. Numerous 

 additional Nearctic localities will presumably be given by Mr. G. S. Walley in a 

 forthcoming paper.
