type. It is probable that Provancher's observation on this feature 

 was taken on a specimen erroneously determined as alhotarsatus. 



(PANISCUS) ALEXETER CANALICULATUS (Provancher). 



This species was transferred by its author to Mesoleptus and later 

 by Davis to Alexeter. 



S. A. Rohwer has examined the type and was of the opinion that 

 Davis was correct in placing it in Alexeter. He also was of the opinion 

 that it is the male of Mesoleptus uniformis Provancher, the type of 

 which he also examined, despite its possession of the areolet which 

 uniformis lacks. If the two are synonymous canaliculatus is the 

 name to use as it has precedence. 



(PANISCUS) MESOLECTUS INTERRUPTUS (Provancher). 



According to notes on the type of this species, made by S. A. 

 Rohwer, it will run in Davis's key to Gausocentrus, or, if the sculpture 

 of the cheeks is ignored, to Zemiodes. In the latter genus it agrees 

 fairly well with Zemiodes coloradensis Davis. Mr. Rohwer makes the 

 further statement that it loofe like Hadrodadylus. He notes that the 

 three median areas of the propodeum are confluent, the bounding 

 carinae nearly parallel, the costulae present, the propodeum shining, 

 the notauli obsolete, the gastrocoeli large, and the carinae of the 

 first tergite not reaching the apex. I have been unable to find 

 any specimen in the National Collection that agrees entirely with 

 Provancher's description and Mr. Rohwer's notes. 



( PANISCUS QUEBECENSIS Provancher) = EXETASTES SUAVEOLENS Walsh. 



Provancher himself reduced his species to synonymy. Mr. Rohwer 

 was unable to find the type of quehecensis, but notes that all the 

 specimens in the Provancher collection under suaveolens are the same. 



(PANISCUS RUFULUS Provancher) = ASTIPHROMMA UNIFORMIS (Cresson). 



Provancher transferred this species to Mesochorus. Comparison of 

 specimens of uniformis with Provancher's description together with 

 A. B. Gahan's notes on the type of rufulus leaves no doubt that 

 it is synonymous with uniformis. 



(PANISCUS)? CLEPSIPORTHUS SEMINIGER (Provancher). 



Provancher transferred this species to Mesoleptus and Davis, with- 

 out seeing the type, referred it to Alexeter. Mr. Rohwer ran the type, 

 in Davis's key, to ClepsiportTius, where the presence of the areolet 

 distinguishes it from ruhiginosus (Cresson) . I have seen no speci- 

 men that agrees exactly with the description, the nearest thing to 

 it being an undetermined specimen that I would refer to Alexeter. 

 This specimen differs only in having the head largely black instead 



of red.
