 unicincta (Gravenhorst). Southeastern N. H., n.w. Mass., e.-central N. Y., n.e. Pa.; Europe. 



Introduced. Host: Lymantria dispar (L.). The native range of this species extends into 

 eastern Europe, but unicincta is not known to me from Asia or from any European 

 locality east of Moscow, U. S. S. R. It has been recorded as a parasite of Lymantria 

 dispar in Japan (as Phobocanipe disparis), but those records pertain to the undescribed 

 species referred to above in the discussion of P. tempestiva, and they probably also 

 pertain in part to Hyposoter vierecki Townes. I suspect that unicincta does not occur in 

 Japan. Muesebeck and Parker (1933) found unicincta to be a univoltine species, this fact 

 apparently explaining the relative ease with which it was established in the United 

 States. 



Campoplex unicinctus Gravenhorst, 1829. Ichn. Europaea, v. 3, p. 529. 9 (6 misdet.). 

 Lectotype here selected as the female in the Gravenhorst collection labeled as lectotype 

 by Townes in 1964 and by me in 1969 and bearing Gravenhorst's small label marked "f" 

 (see Townes, 1965, p. 405). In his description of confusa, Thomson (1887) indicated that 

 he regarded Gravenhorst's description of the C. unicinctus male as applying to confusa, 

 and Gravenhorst's description of the male seems to agree with Thomson's conclusion. 



Hyposoter disparis Viereck, 1911. U. S. Natl. Mus., Proc. 40: 478. 6, 9. Lectotype here 

 selected as the female in the U. S. Natl. Museum collection bearing Viereck's 

 identification label and labels reading: "Gip Moth Lab No. 529 —07; 20 Aug.; Type No. 

 13074 U. S. N. M." Muesebeck and Parker (1933, p. 335) saw notes which indicated that 

 the type locality is probably Kiev, U. S. S. R.

Genus TRANOSEMA Foerster 



Tranosema Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 157. 



Type-species: Tranosema arenicola Thomson. Desig. by Viereck, 1914 from three 

 species included by Thomson, 1887. 



This is a small Holarctic genus. I know only two species, both of which have Holarctic dis- 

 tributions. The species Limneria interrupta Holmgren and Campoplex (Angitia) rosanae 

 Viereck, which were placed in Tranosema by Townes (1970), are here regarded as species of 

 Diadegma {rosanae being a synonym of D. acronyctae [Ashmead]).

 (Fern.), Archips argyrospilus (Wlk.), A. rosanus (L), Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.), 

 C. lambertiana (Bsk.). T. rostrale ahithim. Momoi (1968) is known from Japan.
