GENUS ^MESIDIA

^Foerster.

MesidiaFoerster. Hymenopterologische Studien, Heft. ^{2, 1856, p. 30.}

The _genus Mesidia was founded by ^Foerster on page ³⁰

^{of his}

Hymenopterological

Studies,

second part

⁽¹⁸⁵⁶⁾

but he mentioned no

_species.

_Kirchner,

in his

Catalogue

^of

the Hymenoptera

Europe

(1867) lists,

on page

143,

Mesidia

pallida Kirch.,

and

in

a footnote

states

that

as

Foerster founded _{the genus} and _kept

his species in

manuscript which was never published he

^takes

the

liberty ^of giving

a

specific

name

to help establish the genus.

In

this condition

the genus
