Species Pompilus cinereus (Fabricius, 1775)

 

Miscellaneous Literature Names

 

Introduction

Pompilus cinereus (Fabricius, 1775) is a widespread species with a number of synonyms and a rich literature on many aspects of its biology. The synonymy of Pompilus plumbeus (Fabricius, 1787) and Pompilus pulcher (Fabricius, 1798) with P. cinereus is here attributed to Evans (1972a), though Smith (1855) and Dalla Torre (1897) listed P. pulcher as a synonym of P. plumbeus in their catalogues and numerous other authors have also listed the synonymy prior to Evans. These previous synonymies appear to have been ignored and it is only after the publication of Evans (1972a) that the name Pompilus cinereus (Fabricius, 1775) appears to dominate in the literature.
