Ischnus lentus Provancher, 1875, Naturaliste Canadien, vol. 7, p. 110; cf , 9 . 

 New synonymy. Lectotype: cT, Quebec (Quebec). 



Black. Flagellum of female with a median incomplete white band 

 that occupies 2-5 segments; front femur entirely and middle femur 

 partly brownish fulvous in front and apically; front and middle tibiae 

 fidvous brown, theu* tarsi medium brown, darker apically; hind basi- 

 tarsus of male fuscous, its apical 0.5 or less white; segments 2-4 of 

 hind tarsus of male entirely white or the second segment more or less 

 fuscous; wings weakly infuscate; abdomen ferruginous, the basal 0.5 db 

 of first segment infuscate and tergites 5 or 6 through 8 infuscate or black. 



In the Gravenhorst collection in Wroclaw there are 13 cf, 89 stand- 

 ing under the label "Cryptus analis." Of these 11 cf are Pycnocryptus 

 director, 2 cf are a species of Trychosis that is colored hke P. director, 

 39 are Trychosis spp., and 59 are the form treated here as Idiolispa 

 analis analis. The arrangement in the collection agrees with Graven- 

 horst's latest treatment of the species (1829, Ichneumonologia 

 europeae, vol. 2, p. 560), which, as noted above, is based on a mixed 

 series. His original description (1807) seems to fit the male of 

 Pycnocryptus director better than any of the other species involved in 

 1829, especially since he describes the first abdominal segment as 

 black with the apical margin fulvous, and does not mention a white 

 mark on the flagellum. It is not possible to be sure, however, that 

 in 1807 he did not have Idiolispa analis analis, and since the name is 

 traditionally applied to this form and since the application is not clearly 

 wrong, we accept the precedent and have labeled one of Gravenhorst's 

 females of the present form as lectotype.
