This subspecies is one of three species or subspecies of Cryptocheilus agreeing moderately well with Say's description and figure of Pompilus terminatus and all three plus others have been identified as terminatus by various workers. The present form is the only one with the apical dark area of the forewing as wide as described by Say and the name terminaium thus seems applicable to it alone. Specimens (30cf, 519): From A
