p. 115, RC, L 27: delete "new synonym by Menke". Ducke 1901 established this synonymy.

p. 116, LC, L 33: lectotype may be illegal because type locality was Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

p. 123, RC, L3 from bottom: clavigera Smith, 1856, should be removed from synonymy here

and transferred to the Sphex checklist, p. 114, LC, as a species from Australia.

There was considerable comment on the proper spelling of the singular and pleural forms of the term sensillum in Antenna, vol. 20, pp. 5-6. Based on the comments of W. R. Dolling, it appears that sensillum is the proper singular and sensilla is pleural. Some authors use sensilla for the singular and sensillae for the pleural – both are incorrect. Dolling also points out other words that are sometimes improperly used: sinus is both singular and pleural and the same is true for ductus. Jugum is singular and juga is pleural (not jugae), Caecum and caeca is another example. The word exuviae is always pleural; there is no singular. Magnum opus is singular and cannot be pleuralized.
