Taxonomic Note
The Catalogue of Life lists this as provisionally accepted with authorship by Buchanan, 1927, while GBIF records the authorship as Horn, 1876. This discrepancy suggests potential taxonomic confusion or multiple descriptions that require resolution.
Collection Holdings
The UCR Entomology Research Museum holds specimens of this among its Bembicidae (Nyssonidae) holdings, though this appears to be a cataloging artifact as Panscopus is not a bembicid but a curculionid .
