INVESTIGATIONS ON THE MUTILLID WASPS 35 



PLATYMYRMILLA Andrg. 



Spec. Hymen. d'Eur. & d'Alg., vol. 8, 1900, pp. 130 and 220. 



Proposed as a subgenus of Mutilla.

Haplotype: Mutilla pectiiiata Radoszkowski. 

 PROMECILLA Andre. 



Gen. Ins., vol. 1, fasc. 11, 1903, p. 30.

 PSAMMOTHERMA Latreille. 



Fam. nat. du Regne Animal, 1825, p. 453. 



In : Cuvier's, Le Regne Animal, vol. 5, 1829, p. 315. 



Haplotype : Mutilla flahellata Fabricius. 



Latreille proposed this genus in 1825 in his Fam. nat. du Regne Animal, but 

 did not include any species. Later, in 1829, in vol. 5 of Cuvier's Le Regne 

 Animal, of which Latreille was the author of vols. 4 and 5, he included 

 one species. Lepeletier refers to this latter work in his Hist. nat. des 

 Insectes, Hymenopteres, vol. 3, p. 592. Both Dalle Torre and Andr6 

 misinterpreted this reference and cited a different work of an earlier 

 date for the erection of this genus, namely, Hist. nat. Crust, et Insectes, 

 vol. 2, 1802, p. 315. This of course was an error and has been noted by 

 Bischoff, Archiv. f. Naturg., vol. 86, Abt. A, 1920, p. 711. The genus 

 should date from 1829 because no species were indicated in the work 

 of 1825.
