 nation. ) 

 Chalcis Fabrxcius, not Authors= (Smiera Spinola) = (Smicra of Authors). 

 Mant. Ins., vol. 1, 1789, p. 272. Seven species. 



Type. — (Chalcis sispes Fabbicixjs.) (Designated by Latreille, Consid. Gen., 

 1810, p. 436. ) = (/Sp /tea?) Smiera myrifex Sulzer, according to Dalla 

 Torre, p. 379. Sphex sispes Linnaeus, designated by Westwood, 1840, 

 Synopsis, p. 65, was not correctly included. Vespa minuta, Linnaeus^ 

 designated by Kirby, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zool., vol. 17, 1883, p. 54. 

 Chalcis was described with seven included species of wliich Sphex sispes 

 Linnaeus was named as one. It has been shown that Chalcis sispes 

 Fabricius is not the Sphe<x sispes of Linnaeus, but a misidentification 

 (Dalla Torre, pp. 379, 381). Chalcis sispes Fabricius was named type 

 of the genus by Latreille, his designation antedating all others. The 

 species is now said to be identical with (Sphex) Smiera, myrifex 

 Sulzer, which therefore should be consideretl the type of Chalds 

 Fabricius. This species is also type of Smiera Spinola. The name 

 Chalcis Fabricius must therefore be used in the sense of Smiera Spinola 

 and authors, while Chalcis of Authors will take the name Brachymeria 

 (Westwood) Stephens. 

 (Chalcis of Authors not Fabricius) = Brachymeria (Westwood) Stephens.
