reference of Ashmead, 1894; see Gahan and Pagan, 1923. U. S. Natl. Mus. Bui. 

 124: 23. Nowicki, 1936, rejects this and designates //d/cie type-species of his new 

 genus, but does so on the the basis of very weak arguments. Doutt and Viggiani, 

 1968, accept Nowicki's action, however, in order to preserve Brachista as usage 

 dictates; that is, with B. pungens (Mayr) as type-species. Brachista in that sense 

 does not occur in North America.
