 (1914) — Type: manifestator L. [PiMPLA F. (= Ephialtes Gravenh.)] 



Viereck (1914) accepts manifestator L. as the T3^pe of 

 Ichneumon L., following Latreille (1810), he however over- 

 looks Lamarck (1801) who had already cited persuasorius 

 L. as the Type — neither manifestator L. nor persuasorius 

 L. belong to the genus Ichneumon, nor even to the Ichneu- 

 moninae of modern authors ! Both are Pimplinae : 

 tnanifesfator L. an Ephialtes Gravenh., and persuasorius L. 

 a Rhyssa Gravenh. — the latter therefore is synonymous 

 with Ichneumon L. 



Viereck sinks Pimpla F. as synonymous with Ichneumon 

 L., but as manifestator L. is now shown not to be the 

 earliest cited type of Ichneumon L., Pimpla F. becomes 

 available for manifestator and Ephialtes Gravenh. will sink 

 as a synonym. It is evident that the whole question will 

 require very careful study by those interested in the 

 Ichneumofiidae since the facts to w^hich attention is directed 

 in the present paper appear to atl'ect the validity of such 

 important generic names as Ichneumon, Cryptus, Pimpla, 

 etc., Auctt., and also of the groups higher than generic 

 which have been named from them.
