Morawitz (Hor. Ent. Ross. vii. Bull. p. xix) records Andrena pilipes and A.
fulvierus bearing each a larva of Meloe between the 1st and 2nd segments of
the back of the abdomen. The A. pilipes had also a small larva of Lytta
among the hairs of its thorax.
SCHJENCK (S. E. Z. xxxi) discusses at some length his difficulties concerning
the following species:—1. Andrena combinata (Chr.),propinqua, afzeliella,

and bicolor, Nyl, p. 410 ; 3. A. prcecox (Scop, smithella, K.), variant,
(Rossi), an&fucata, Sm, p. 411; 4. A. trimmerana, K, and apicata, Sm,
p. 413.
Andrena. Thomson (I. c. pp. 140-156) describes 39 Swedish species, of

Apides.
SCHENCK (S. E. Z. xxxi. p. 104) records Phileremus rufiventris (Forst, = Pasites
maculatus, Jur, teste Gerst.) with very short max. palpi, apparently nonarticulate.
He states that his Pasites punctalus = Phil, nasutus, Gerst, and
points out its structural peculiarities. It frequents Betonica officinaUs, in
company with Rhophites b-spinosus.
