Notes

NMS, det. Horstmann, BMNH, det. Broad, added here; specimens of Dyspetes in Britain and Ireland have usually been treated as one species (named praerogator or arrogator) but Horstmann (2006a) demonstrated that the commoner species is actually luteomarginatus . The name praerogator was used by Gravenhorst and Thomson, referring to Linnaeus’s praerogator, which is actually a species of Tranosemella ( Campopleginae ). These usages of praerogator are unavailable names ( Horstmann 2005a, Horstmann 2006a).
