  • Cerceris Latreille in Mexico and ' Central America
    HERMAN A. SCULL Review of the Genus Cerceris Latreille in Mexico and ' Central America (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) k SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 110 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

It has been the subject of several relatively recent regional studies (Kumm, Osorno-Mesa and Boshell-Manrique, 1946; Kumm and Cerqueira, 1951a; Levi-Castillo, I951b) and numerous restricted studies on the taxonomy, ecology and/or disease relations of 1 or more species.
