pepsinae: tribe pepsini 



73 



Wings orange-yellow, the apical 0.25 ± of the forewing and the 

 apex of the hind wing blackish. 



This subspecies is one of three species or subspecies of Cryptocheilus 

 agreeing moderately well with Say's description and figure of Pompilus 

 terminatus and all three plus others have been identified as terminatus 

 by various workers. The present form is the only one with the apical 

 dark area of the forewing as wide as described by Say and the name 

 terminaium thus seems applicable to it alone.
