know the real Bergenstammi with the four dorsocentral bristles 
in the male, he made a failure in referring his species to Bergen¬ 
stammi. Finally Schmitz, referring to Malloch, describes dome- 
stica as Bergenstammi. We now come to the following synonymi: 
Paraspiniphora Bergenstammi Mik. 
Mik, Verh. zool. bot. Gesell. Wien, XIV, 793 (. Phora). 
Strobl, Wien. ent. Zeitg. XI, 197 {Phora sphingicides 
nec Bouché, teste Becker). 
Becker, Abh. zool. bot. Gesell. Wien, I, 25, Taf. I, Fig. 
14—16 (Phora). 
Paraspiniphora domestica Wood. 
Wood, Ent. Month. Mag. XVII, 262, 265 (Phora). 
Wood, ibid. 196 ( Phora bergenstammi). 
Malloch, Ann. Scott. Nat. Flist. 1910, 20 ( Spiniphora 
Bergenstammi). 
Keilin, Buil. Sc. France Belgique (7), 45, 31, PI. I, II, 
(Phora Bergenstammi). 
Schmitz, Biol. Zentralbl. 37, 34, 40 (Paraspiniphora 
bergenstammi). 
Schmitz, Jahrb. van het Natuurh. Genootsch. in Limburg, 
1917, 92 (Paraspiniphora bergenstammi). 
P. Bergenstammi is also recorded from America; it was first 
enumerated by Brues (described by Aldrich) as Phora Comstocki 
in Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. XXIX, 1903, 346, fig. 12; only the male 
was known, and it was stated to have four dorsocentral bristles. 
In 1912 Malloch (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 43, 426) unites it with 
Bergenstammi , and this seems to be correct, but it is curious that 
Malloch did so, as he had himself, as mentioned above, in 1910 
declaréd Bergenstammi to have only two dorsocentral bristles in 
the male; perhaps he now considered the species to be variable 
in this point, what is not the case, as we have seen. Brues in 
his catalogue of 1914 (Buil. Wiscon. Nat. Hist. Soc. XII, 89) fol¬ 
lowing Malloch has both Comstocki and domestica as synonyms 
under Bergenstammi ; as seen this is for the former probably cor¬ 
rect, while domestica is a distinet species.
