Cerceris huastecae Saussure
Cerceris huastecae Saussure, 1867:102, pl. IV: fig. 60.—Schletterer 1887:494.—Cameron 1890:118.—Dalla Torre, C. G., 1897:463.
Cerceris haustecae [sic],—Ashmead, 1899:296.
The present author has been unable to recognize this species from the description. From Saussure’s illustration of the female clypeal lamellae (pl. IV: fig. 60), it is close to C. compacta Cresson. No type of this species was found by the present author at Vienna or Geneva in 1959.
TYPE.—Unknown. The type-locality as given by Saussure is “Mexico, calida, Tampico.”
DISTRIBUTION.—Known only from the type-locality and as recorded by Cameron: “Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (H. H. Smith), Tampico.”
PREY RECORD.—None.
