NO. 2219. A REVrSION OF THE CliEMASTINI—CUSHMAN. 651 



SPECIES ERRONEOUSLY REFERRED TO CREMASTUS. 



(CREMASTUS) PROCLITLS LONGICAUDLS (Provancher). 



Cremastus longicaudm Provancher, Faun. Can. Ilym., 1883, p. 789. 



This is a Plectiscino. In Foerstcr's table to the goncra of that 

 tribe it runs to Eustermx Focrstcr, but is certainly congeneric with 

 Proclitus grandis Focrstcr, the genotype of Proditus Focrstcr, as rep- 

 resented in the United States National Museum collection. It fails 

 to run to the latter genus because of the unbroken ncrvollus, but the 

 specimen of P. grandis examined has this only weakly broken in one 

 wing and unbroken in the other, and this character is evidently not 

 even of specific value. 



A specimen of longicaudus Provancher compared with the typo by 

 Mr. A. B. Gahan and designated by him as a homotype is in the 

 United States National Museum and is the basis of the above remarks. 



(CREMASTUS) PROCLITUS MELLIPES Provancher. 



Atractodes mellipes Provaxcher, Nat. Can., vol. 7, 1875, p. 332. 

 Cremaslus mellipes Provancher, Faun. Cau. Ilym., 1883, p. 377. 



According to notes by Mr. A. B. Gahan, who has examined the 

 type, this species is congeneric with Cremastus longicaudus Pro- 

 vancher. It must, therefore, be referred to Proditus Foerster. 



CREMASTUS PICEUS Cresson. 



CremasttLS piceus Cresson, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 4, 1872, p. 176. 



The type of this species is apparently lost, and its exact status can, 

 therefore, not be definitely ascertained. It is not, however, a Cre- 

 maMus, but apparently a member of some genus in the Porizonini. 

 Except for the upcurved ovipositor, the description of the species 

 contains no character that can be considered as at all indicating its 

 relationship. 



(CREMASTUS) PROCLITUS ROYI (Provancher). 



Cremastus royi Provancher, Faun. Can. Ilym., 1883, p. 788. 



According to notes by Mr. A. B. Gahan, who has examined the 

 type, this species is congeneric with longicaudus (Provancher), and is 

 therefore referred to Proditus Foerster.
