 macellator (Thunberg). Europe. Introduced in N. S., N. B., Que., Vt., and Ont. between 1933 

 and 1940, without becoming established. Host: Gilpinia fnitetonwi (F.), G. polytovia 

 (Htg.). The hosts cited were apparently the ones from which rearings were made of 

 individuals released in North America, and most of the rearings were apparently from 

 G. polytonia. The target species for the releases in North America was G. hercyniae 

 (Htg.), and hercyniae was not recorded as a host of macellator by Oehlke (1966). Oehlke 

 apparently did not study type specimens other than that of Campoplex retectus Hartig, 

 and his suppression of retectus as a synonym of macellator is apparently based upon 

 Roman's (1912) suppression of Holocremna frutetonim Thomson as a synonym of 

 macellator. My notes on the lectotype oi fndetonim indicate that it probably pertains 

 to the present species, but there is a definite need for careful study by one revisor of all 

 three of the types in question. A specimen matched by me with one in the Holmgren 

 collection labeled as lectotype of Limneria cothurnata Holmgren (But possibly not yet 

 selected by publication) indicates that cothurnata is erroneously treated as a synonym 

 of macellator by Oehlke (1966) and Aubert (1973).

Olesicam^pe ratzeburgi auct., 1936-1975. Limneria ratzeburgi Tschek (1871) was suppressed 

 with a query as a synonym of macellator by Oehlke (1966), but Aubert (1973) indicated 

 that synonymy to be incorrect.
