Extract

Thomson, in his review of the Scandinavian Hymenoptera, recognized four genera of Pemphilidine wasps: Rhopalum, Entomognathus, Lindenius and Crabro, the last of which he divided into a dozen subgenera. Two of these, Coelocrabro and Hoplocrabro, were propounded there as new.

16 In answer to an inquiry about Crabro angelicus, Professor Kincaid states (in litt.)“. … You are correct in your interpretation of the facts. and there is no question the species was based upon a male specimen. Just how the error occurred involving the transposition of the sex signs I cannot say at this late date. I am glad however to know you have run down the discrepancy, and will have an opportunity to make the necessary correction.”
