on its type species, a requirement which has often been ignore( 

 in the past, with the result that erroneous generic concepts hav 

 gradually become widely accepted in certain cases. Sometimes i 

 is difficult and time consuming to ascertain the type species of ; 

 given genus. Much searching of the literature may be necessarj 

 and the required literature is not always at hand. For thes 

 reasons the availability of genotype catalogs, prepared after ex 

 haustive searching and thorough study, should have a stabilizin; 

 influence and should aid in the gradual betterment of ou 

 classifications. 



Students of Hymenoptera are not in agreement concerning th 

 limits of the Proctotrupoidea, and we recognize the difficulties i: 

 justifying the inclusion in this superfamily of such isolated group 

 as the Evaniidae, the Gasteruptiidae, and the Aulacidae. Never 

 theless, for the purposes of this catalog we have considered i 

 most practical to include them under the superfamily nam; 

 Proctotrupoidea as was done in "Hymenoptera of America Nort 

 of Mexico, Synoptic Catalog" (U. S. Dept. Agr., Agr. Monogr. ^ 

 1951). The present paper contains 735 generic and subgeneri 

 names published through 1953 (a few later), including 72 tha 

 are errors or emendations of previously published names, ani^ 

 including also the following new names proposed to replace pre 

 occupied names: Aulacomastus, Dorachia, Eccinetus, Nesoprio 

 and Philoplanes. Omitted are the following errors, most of ther 

 obviously typographical, that have appeared in the Zoologies; 

 Record; in each case the year cited is the year covered by thi 

 particular volume of the Zoological Record and not the year of iti 

 publication.
