(TEMELUCHA SCUTELLATA Ashmead MS.)=CREMASTUS LONGIGENALIS Cushman. 



One of the Mount Washing-ton specimens is the type of longi- 

 genalis. A second specimen was returned by Ashmead to Mrs. Slos- 

 son, and is among the specimens sent to me by Mrs. Slosson. 



THERSILOCHUS PROVANCHERI, new name. (=THERSILOCHUS PALLIPES Pro- 

 vancher, not Holmgren.) 



" Thcrsilochus provancheri Ashra.," Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 11, 1900, p. 320. 

 The Mount Washington specimen to which Ashmead assigned tliis 

 name was returned by Ashmead to Mrs. Slosson, but other speci- 

 mens in the National Collection show this to be a new name that 

 Ashmead intended to propose for jiaUipes Provancher, preoccupied 

 by Holmgren in 1858. 



(TRACHYPORTHUS (sic!) AMERICANUS Ashmead MS.)=ADELOGNATHUS AMERICA- 

 NUS Cushman, new species. 



XENOSCHESIS SLOSSONAE Cushman.

(ZAPORUS ALTICOLA Ashmead MS.)=DIOCTES ALTICOLA Cushman, new species. 

 (ZAPORUS MINUTUS Ashmead MS.)=NYTHOBIA MINUTA Cushman, new species. 

 (ZOOTREPHES BICOLORIPES Ashmead MS.)=ZOOTREPHES CULTRIFORMIS (D»Ti«). 

 ZOOTRBPHES CULTRIFORMIS (Davis). 



Otohlastns cultriformis Davis, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 24, 1897, p. 273. 

 " Zootrephes bicoloripes Ashni. MS.," Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 13, 1902, p. 

 321. 



Davis places this and four other species of Diplazonini in the 

 Tryphonini because of the supposed lack of the division of the upper 

 tooth of the mandible. I have seen the types of all five and find that 

 Davis was mistaken as to tlie mandibles. 



The present species is very close to, if not synonymous with 

 (Tryphon) Zoothrephes compressiventris (Cresson), also referred 

 by Davis to Otoblastus^ differing only in lacking the cuneiform yel- 

 loAv spots on mesoscutum. It is doubtful if this difference is specific. 



The other species referred by Davis to OtohJastus should be dis- 

 posed of as follows : 



♦(TRYPHON) ZOOTREPHES COMPRESSIVENTRIS (Cresson) (=ZOOTREPHES MON- 



TANUS Davis). 

 *(OTOBLASTUS) PHTHORIMA? BIDENS (Davis). 



This is a male which runs to FhtJiorima^ but since that genus is 

 known to me only in the female I refer the present species to it 

 doubtfully. 



♦(TRYPHON) SYRPHOCTONUS MINIMUS (Cresson) = (SYRPHOCTONUS PACIFICUS 



[Cresson]). 



(OTOBLASTUS ERODENS Davis) =PROMETHES ELONGATUS (Provancher). 



See also Provtethes elongafus above.
