The following notes are based on the material in the Canadian National Collection and in the collections of the United States National Museum, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.In all of the three American species of Lyperopherus, the flattened side margins of the pronotum are gradually widened posteriorly to include the outer of the basal impressions. All are flightless and have the elytra widest slightly behind the middle.

New Synonymy

In this paper, the primary types of Centris described by the American doctor and naturalist William Henry Fox deposited at the Academy of Natural Sciences, Drexel University, Philadelphia and in the United States National Museum, Washington, United States were studied. To stabilize the application of some names, lectotypes were designated for C. atriventris Fox (= C. foxi Friese), C. cockerellii Fox, C. eisenii Fox, C. errans Fox, C. pallida Fox, C. subhyalina Fox (= C. lanosa Cresson), and C. xylocopoides Fox. This latter species is withdrawn from the synonymy of C. braccata Packard and subsequently revalidated. Centris foxi is removed from synonymy of C. atripes Mocsáry and revalidated, proposing this latter species as its new junior synonym. A taxonomic note on the primary type of C. marginata Fox (= C. caesalpiniae Cockerell) is also provided.

In Volume 69, Articles 9 and 11, of the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, R. C. Shannon has reviewed certain Syrphid genera. Apparently some of the synonymy cited is erroneous and I present some notes indicatating certain inconsistencies. It is well to point out that Shannon has not taken the trouble to examine types of species outside those found in the British Museum, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, and the United States National Museum. Had he done so I feel sure that his conclusions in some cases would have been different.

The material on which the following paper is based is deposited in the United States National Museum to whose authorities I am indebted for the privilege of studying the collections of spiders in their charge. Several colleagues have been very generous in lending material and in giving advice. Particular thanks are due to Miss Elizabeth B. Bryant of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Dr. W. J. Gertsch of the American Museum of Natural History, and Professor R. V. Chamberlin of the University of Utah.

The North

As noted below the two North American species described in Syndipnus by workers appear to belong in other genrra. In Europe the gunus is represented by nearly a score of species and has been reviewed in recent years by two writers (1, 2). North American collections contain very few representatives of the genus; after combining the material in the National Collection with that from the United States National Museum, the latter kindly loaned to me by Mr. R. A. Cushman, only thirty-seven specimens are available for study.
