ADDENDUM AND CORRIGENDA TO "CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUPERFAMILY SESIOIDEA"
John B. Heppner and W. D. Duckworth
Department of Entomology, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
ABSTRACT. The subgenera Dipchasphecia, Ductispina, Paradipsosphecia, Pseu-dosphecia, and Synansphecia are synonymized with Bembecia in Sesiidae. The names Bembecia reisseri Capuse, Chamaesphecia rangnovi Capuse, Homogyna porphyractis Meyrick, Microsynanthedon tanala Minet, and Sesia okinawana (Matsumura) are added. A number of other changes and corrections are noted.
In a recently completed paper on Sesioidea (Heppner & Duckworth, 1981), a major reference to Sesiidae (Capuse, 1973) was inadvertantly left out of the world review for the family Sesiidae. Thus, we wish to make note of the following taxa as an addition to our review of the superfamily.
The following generic names, proposed as subgenera, are hereby placed as synonyms of Bembecia:
Pseudosphecia Capuse, 1973b: 147, new synonymy
Type-species: Dipsosphecia tenebrosa Piingeler, 1915, by original designation [described as a subgenus of Bembecia].
Ductispina Capuse, 1973b: 149, new synonymy
Type-species: Dipsosphecia turcmena Bartel, 1912, by original designation [described as a subgenus of Bembecia].
Paradipsosphecia Capuse, 1973b: 150, new synonymy
Type-species: Dipsosphecia barbara Bartel, 1912, by original designation [described as a subgenus of Bembecia].
Dipchasphecia Capuse, 1973b: 161, new synonymy
Type-species: Dipsosphecia roseiventris Bartel, 1912, by original designation [described as a subgenus of Chamaesphecia; type-species now placed in Bembecia],
Synansphecia Capuse, 1973b: 166, new synonymy
Type-species: Sesia triannuliformis Freyer, 1845, by original designation [described as a subgenus of Chamaesphecia; type-species now placed in Bembecia].
The following additions and corrections are also noted:
p. 9. Change setae D2 to Dl and Dl to D2 at the end of the larval diagnosis.
p. 15. Change Phycodes eucallynta Meyrick, 1937, to Meyrick, 1937a.
p. 16. Under current taxa, change 1063 to 1066 species and change 83 to 84 species.
p. 20. Under current taxa, change 782 to 786 species. Under Bembecia, change 58 to 59.
p. 21. Under Homogyna, change 9 to 10; under Microsynanthedon, change 1 to 2.
p. 27. Under Sesia, add Spherodoptera [sic] Matsumura, 1931a: 1017, [misspelling].

p. 28. Add Sesia okinawana (Matsumura, 1931a: 1017), Spherodoptera [sic], [new combination], as a valid species from the Oriental region. Change Sesia montelli (Lofquist, 1922:82), Aegeria from a valid species to a junior synonym of Sesia bembeciformis (Hiibner).
p. 30. Change Synanthedon danieli Capuse, 1973, to Capuse, 1973a.
p. 35. Under Chamaesphecia balcanica Zukowsky, 1929, add C. rangnovi Capuse, 1973b: 167 [nomen nudum], as a synonym. Change C. Corsica (Staudinger, 1856) to a synonym of C. meriaeformis (Boisduval, 1840), since the latter is not a nomen nudum, due to a short description in a footnote. Chamaesphecia meriaeformis becomes the valid name for the species.
p. 36. Change Chamaesphecia monspeliensis (Staudinger, 1856) to synonymy with C. tengyraeformis (Boisduval, 1840), since the latter is not a nomen nudum, due to a short description in a footnote. Chamaesphecia tengyraeformis becomes the valid name for this species.
p. 37. Change Scalarignathia Capuse, 1973, and Scalarignathia kaszabi Capuse, 1973, to Capuse, 1973a.
p. 39. Add Bembecia reisseri (Capuse, 1973b: 156), Pyropteron [new combination], as a valid species from the Palearctic region.
Under B. chrysidiformis (Esper, 1782), B. polistiformis (Boisduval, 1840) is not a nomen nudum due to a short description as a footnote in the original article.
Change Bembecia bestianaeli Capuse, 1973, Bembecia dancaudani Capuse, 1973, Bembecia hannemanni Capuse, 1973, and Bembecia Hi Capuse, 1973, in each case to "(Capuse, 1973a), Dipsosphecia [new combination]."
p. 40. Since Chamaesphecia tengyraeformis (Boisduval) 1840 (Sesia) is now a valid name and not a nomen nudum, Bembecia tengyraeformis (Herrich-Schaffer, 1851) (Sesia) becomes a junior homonym, to be replaced by Bembecia san-guinolenta (Lederer, 1853). The latter name becomes the valid name for this species.
p. 42. Add Microsynanthedon tanala Minet, 1976:40, for the Ethiopian region.
p. 43. Add Homogyna porphyractis Meyrick, 1937b: 119, as a valid species from the Ethiopian region.
p. 49. Change Brenthia dendronympha Meyrick, 1937, to Meyrick, 1937a.
p. 50. Change Brenthia spintheristis [sic] Meyrick to B. spintheritis.
p. 51. Under Millieria dolosana (Herrich-Schaffer) add M. dolosalis (Heydenreich, 1851:63), Choreutis [nomen nudum], as another synonym.
p. 52. Change Tebenna chrysotacta [sic] (Meyrick) to T. chrysostacta.
p. 62. Add the Capuse reference noted in this paper under the other Capuse, 1973a, reference and indicate it as 1973b.
p. 75. Add the following reference under Meyrick and change the listed 1937 reference to 1937a: 1937b. Aegeriadae. Exotic Microlepidoptera 5:119. Add the Minet reference as listed below under literature cited.
