original type. In 1793 Panzer figured and diagnosed 

 Bembex rostrata, and in 1801 Lamarck (Syst. An. sans 

 Vert. 272) enumerated two other species, only one of 

 which, signata F., was an original type. We come next to 

 Latreille's definite revision of the genus in 1802, when he 

 separated Monedula Ltr., (n. g.), with Type Carolina F., Coq. 

 {teste Ltr. 1804) from Bembex F., citing as Type rostrata F. 

 This is rather fortunate, for if Lamarck had definitely 

 chosen signata as his Type it might have been necessary to 

 call Monedula Ltr. a Bembix, and to find another name 

 for the present genus Bembex Auctt.

The Fabrician genus Masaris was founded on two species, 

 vespiformis F. (from Barbary) and ajpifortriis F. (from 

 Italy). In 1802, Latreille revised the genus, restricting 

 Masaris F. to vespiformis F., and proposing the ncAv genus 

 Celonites for apiformis F. When describing Masaris 

 apiformis, in 1793, Fabricius correctly gave as a synonym 

 Chrysis dubia Rossi (1790) — Rossi's name must be restored, 

 and the species should be known as Celonites dubia Rossi 

 (= apifortnis F.). 



Fabricius accepted Latreille's restriction, in 1804 (Syst. 

 Piez. 292), but Jurine (Nouv. Meth. Hym. 182-4) 1807, 

 still continued to call apiformis F. a Masaris, stating that 

 he had not seen vespiformis F., and that he did not know 

 whether its differences from dubia Rossi (= apiformis ¥.,
