misidentification). Usage in North American literature reverted to nidiilans about 1920 

 and remained there until 1956. That year Graham placed nidulans Thomson in 

 synonymy under apicalis Walker and lieniiptenis Walker. The first of these being 

 preoccupied, usage of heinipterus was followed. However, in 1969, in his revision of the 

 European and North American species of EupteroDialiis, Graham stated that there are 

 no undoubted North American records of hemipterus. He described peregrinus for the 

 European species that has been commonly known here as egregius or nidiilayis in a very 

 large amount of literature.
