T.J. Henry's comment: "The late I.M. Kerzhner was our world authority and in the relatively recent Palearctic catalog (1996) he again reduced these names to subgenera of under Nabis. Personally, I was comfortable with keeping them as genera, but until further study, it is best to follow that publication and this one."

In the course of time, since the publication of Van Duzee’s Catalogue, I have made note of some corrections and changes which it is necessary to make in certain of my articles. Some of the errors are typographical, due either to lack of opportunity to read proof or to read it with sufficient care.
