on the first line and with a species specific number on the second 
line. All of Hagen’s syntypes examined bear MCZ labels of this 
variety. The second kind of type label is on nonglossy red paper, 
reading “M.C.Z.” on the first line, “Type” or “Paratype” on the 
second line and with a species specific number on the third line. 
Also, the first syntype of the series with the red label reading “Type” 
has an additional label of determination that has “type” written in 
the lower left corner; other syntypes have red labels reading “Para- 
type,” but usually not have larger determination labels. The change 
in type labels of Banks’ species took place sometime after MCZ type 
no. 16500 of Goerodes grandis (Banks 1931c), but before type no. 
20182 of Goerodes medius (Banks 1934). 
Lectotypes have been designated for all species examined, even 
when only one syntype was available, because of the possibility that 
additional syntypes might exist at other institutions. For each spe- 
cies I have selected as lectotype the first specimen in the type series 
which bears a separate determination label. Ross (1938) described 
the important details of Hagen’s and Banks’ type labels and I have 
followed his procedure for selecting lectotypes, which was recom- 
mended to him by Banks. 
In this work, the bibliography following each species lists selected 
references. In the examined material cited, the institutions or per- 
sons holding the specimens are indicated in parentheses and are 
abbreviated as follows: British Museum (Natural History), BMNH; 
Canadian National Collection, CNC; Museum of Comparative 
Zoology, MCZ; Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Nat- 
ural History, USNM; and the collections of Hans Malicky, HM; 
and the author, JSW. Also, known collectors are abbreviated as 
follows: Baumann and Cross, B&C; C. S. Clagg, CSC; Davis and 
Rowe, D&R; O. S. Flint, Jr., OSF; M. R. Henderson, MRH; K. V. 
Krombein, KVK; and H. M. Pendlebury, HMP.
