specimens are not available for comparison, it seems better to main- 

 tain it as a distinct species.

ADELOGNATHUS PERSIMILIS, new name. 



Catalytus pallipes Ashmead, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 12, 1890, p. 419. 

 " Pammacra pallipes Ashni." Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 13, 1902, p. 6. 



Ashmead seems not to have understood the genus Adelognathus, 

 for the only species he referred to it was texanus Ashmead, described 

 in the same paper as Catalytus pallipes. AdelognatJms texanus is 

 the genotype of the genus Lethades Davis. 



Ashmead's types of pallipes run in Roman's key^ to pallipes 

 (Gravenhorst) and agree perfectly with the description of that 

 species, but because of lack of European specimens for comparison 

 it seems best to maintain it as distinct. 



The specific name pallipes being preoccupied in Adelognathus 

 by pallipes (Gravenhorst) it is necessary to rename pallipes (Ash- 

 mead.)
