 classification it forms the subfamily Cimbicinae of the Tenthredinidae. (Bdy.) 



"^ Bradley (Trans. Ent. See. Lond., p. 66, 1919) has pointed out that the generic name Crabro 

 was first used by Geoffroy for the group of insects which has long been known under the name 

 Cimbex Oliv. Cimbex is synonymized with Crabro Geoffroy, and the wasps which have for a long 

 time been known under the generic name Crabro Fabricius are assigned to other genera. (Roh.) 



"" The species recorded by MacGillivray (New York State Mus. Bui. 47, 1901, p. 584) under 

 the name angulatum Kirby from Saranac Inn, seems not to have been described.
