Extract

Pompilus, Fabr., is preoccupied, and the family name Pompilidæ must be changed to Ceropalidæ, as has been shown recently by Fox (vide Ent. News, Vol. XII., 1901, p. 268). In consequence, my subfamily Pompilinæ must be changed to Aporinæ.

This subfamily is unquestionably the largest in number of genera and species of any of the groups of the family Ceropalidæ (Pompilidæ). Most of the species, in comparison with those found in the Pespinæ, are of medium size or small, few attaining much over an inch in length, while the vast majority are much smaller.
