Wesmael refers tbe C. spinipectus ? to C. palmipes, wJiich it 

 certainly is not ; the female of C. palmipes has been taken in 

 this country since the pul)lication of Shuckard's work, who did 

 not know that sex, which, as Wesmael points out, differs, 

 amongst other particulars, in having black spines at the apex of 

 the anterjor tibia;. Crabro spinipectus appears to be correctly 

 reduced to a synonym of the C. varius; both sexes have all the 

 spines at the apex of the tibise yellow.
