Lasius Jrn. of the Erlangen List (1801) is a monotypical 

 genus founded on Apis quadrimuculata Pzr. 56-7 ( = 

 ^vulpina Pzr. 56-6, Jrn.) — both these names were pubUshed 

 together in 1798. Dalla Torre lists the species as " Poda- 

 lirius vulpinus Pzr.," treating quadrimaculata Pzr. as a 

 synonym, but ^Apis vulpina Pzr. (1798) is invalid, being 

 homonymous with Apis vulpina Christ (1791) — the species 

 should therefore be known as Lasius quadrimaculatus Pzr.* 

 Later, and therefore unavailable, synonyms of Lasius Jrn. 

 (1801) are Podalirius Ltr. (1802), Anthophora Ltr. (1804-5) 

 and Megilla F. (1804) — Panzer adopted the last of these 

 in the Krit. Rev (1806). 



Until recently Lasius Jrn. was almost universally called 

 Anthophora Ltr., but in Dalla Torre's Catalogue (1896), 

 and immediately after in Friese's Monograph of the genus 

 (1897), Podalirius Ltr. has been restored — Friese applying 



* Apis vulpina Christ is utterly unlike Lasius quadrimaculatus Pzr. 

 (= Apis vulpina Pzr.) — it may possibly be = parietina F., if Falae- 

 arctic (but the locality is not stated).
