Italy in 1895, cultured in D. C, and liberated in La. in 1898. Another introduction from
South Africa into Calif, was carried out in 1901. Both were successful, and cyanea is
now so common in North America it is often assumed to be native. Host: Ceroplastes

Fonscolombe has priority, Graham, 1969 (Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.,) Ent., Bui. Sup. 16: 76),
intends to submit an application to the International Commission to have it suppressed,
in view of the very large volume of literature there is that uses the name cyanea
Motschulsky.

this species. Sphex colon Linnaeus belongs in Dinotiscus Ghesquiere.

When first introduced into North America from Europe this species was cited in North
American literature under the name nidulans Thomson (or incorrectly as nidulans
Foerster). This name was changed quickly to egregius Foerster (now considered a

misidentification). Usage in North American literature reverted to nidiilans about 1920
and remained there until 1956. That year Graham placed nidulans Thomson in
synonymy under apicalis Walker and lieniiptenis Walker. The first of these being
preoccupied, usage of heinipterus was followed. However, in 1969, in his revision of the
European and North American species of EupteroDialiis, Graham stated that there are
no undoubted North American records of hemipterus. He described peregrinus for the
European species that has been commonly known here as egregius or nidiilayis in a very
large amount of literature.
