'puhlication of " Jurinean " Genera of Hymenoptera. 391 



had seen (like Panzer) Jurine's actual text and plates 

 before he pubUshed the genus Bracon in the Systema Pieza- 

 torum (1804). This would sufficiently explain the compli- 

 ment paid to Jurine by Fabricius on p. vi (Syst. Piez.) by 

 placing him, even dubiously (" forte "), in the highest rank 

 " heroes " of scientific authors {vide ante, p. 355). 



Curtis cited desertor L. as the Type of Bracon Jrn. in 

 1825 ; this citation has been accepted by Westwood, 1840, 

 and Viereck 1914.

[^Pompilus F. (1798) is homonymous with Pompilus

Psammochares Ltr. (Prec. Car. Ins., 1796) was pubhshed 

 without exponents, but in 1802 (Crust-Ins. 3. 335) Latreille 

 sunk Psammochares as a synonym of ^Pomjjilus F., citing 

 viatica L., F., as the Type. Psammochares then received 

 as an exponent viatica L., and since ^Pompilus F. has 

 been found to be invalid as a homonym, its earliest 

 synonym has been revived to replace it. 



Latreille having indicated viatica L. as the Type of 

 Psammochares Ltr., Sustera [Verh. ZB. Ges. Wien 62 : 1912 

 Abh. 210 (1912)] cannot be followed in making plumbeusY. 

 the Type of Psammochares Ltr,, nor in referring viatica L., 

 F, to a diferent genus (viz. Anoplius Lep.).
