mead's type. It is from Mexico, a locality from which the genus has 

 not previously been recorded. 



ANACHARIS LAMTI Cockerell. 



Anacharis tnexicatm Ashmead (not Megapehnus Mexicannus Cameron 



lS84:=Anacharis tnexicana Cameron), Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 23, 



1896, p. 184. 

 Anacharis lam-yi Cockeeell, Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., vol. 16, 1899, p. 



213. 

 Anacharis ashmeadi Dalla Tokre and Kieffer in Wytsmau Gen. Ins. 



Cynipidae, 1902, p. 14. 



Not knowing that Cockerell had already changed the name of Ash- 

 mead's species, Dalla Torre and Kieffer in 1902 hare erroneously 

 given it the name of ashmeadi^ which cannot stand. 



LONCHIDIA HIRTA Provar.cher. 



When studying the Provancher material in the collections at 

 Quebec in 1915 in order to select lectotypes, Messrs. Gahan and 

 Rohwer were unable to locate the type of this species. The only 

 material the writer has ever reen determined as this species is a 

 specimen in the United States National Museum bearing the label 

 " Ontario,'* and a yellow label with the number " 39," evidently sent 

 out of the first collection by Provancher to Ashmead and labeled in 

 Ashmead's hand " Lonchidia hirta Prov." The species was described 

 from a female from Cap Rouge, Ontario. This specimen can b;> but 

 a Provancher determination, and yet it is the most authentic material 

 of the species known to be extant, so that it seems best to choose it as 

 a lectotype. The size and shape of the radial cell agrees so closely 

 with Dahlbom's figure of the wing of the genotype that hirta is left 

 in Lonchidia in spite of the closed radial cell. 



COTHONASPIS (ADIERIS) FLORIDANA (Ashmead). 



Piezohria floridana Ashmead, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 23. 1896, p. 185. 



In the Dalla Torre and Kieffer key (1910) the types of this species 

 run to Cothonaspis (Adieris). 



PSILODORA VAGABUNDA (Ashmead). 



Kleidotoma vagabunda Ashmead. Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. vol. 12, 1885, 

 pp. 298, 302. 



Having a hairy ring at base of abdomen, the fore wing naked and 

 nonciliate, the radial cell closed, and the disk of scutellum rounded 

 behind, the type of this species goes in Psilodora rather than in 

 Ensphagia^ where Das Tierreich puts it.
