Dear Entomology Collection Curators/Managers,

I am working on a paper on the history of the wheat stem sawfly,
and would like information of the earliest records for various parts
of North America.  Could you please check your holdings of
Cephus cinctus (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Cephidae) to see if you
have any specimens that beat those below?  Thanks.  Any help will be
appropriately acknowledged in the paper.
