ANTHOPHILA. 339
EpeoUs hictuosus, Eversm. (nee Spin.), =speciosus, Gerst. : Moraw. I c
p. 326.
CeeKoxys S-dentata, Lep, rufocaudata, Smith, erythropyga, Forst, =
brevis, Eversm.; C. emarginata, Forst, P =eoronata, Forst, 9: Moraw. l.c
p. 319.
CeeUoxys mnbrina, Sm, perhaps=rufeseens, Lep, according to Schenck
(I. c. p. 105), who makes some general observations upon the allies of C. elongata,
Lep, but which will scarcely bear analysis, as the author admits his
difficulty in discriminating between species and variety in this genus. He
refers to the diagnostic characters of his C. claripennis. C. apiculata, Forst.
c? = divergens, Forst, = simplex, Nyl.; C. erythropyga, Forst, = rufocaudata,
Sm, $ = octodentata, Duf. : Schenck, JB. Ver. Nass. xxi. & x-yii
p. 353.
Dioxys tridentata is a parasite on Osmia adunca: Moraw. I. c. p. 321.
GIRATJD (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. Bull. p. xliii) records a J of a Dufouria
(? dejeanii, Lep.) from Agen, which, having a spinule on each side of
sixth segment of abdomen, he thinks justifies Latreille's name of armatus
(Panurgus).
BBLLEVOYE (ibid. p. xxxvi) notes that the cocoons of Osmia bicornis
occur singly in shells of Helix nemoralis and hortensis, whereas they are
found even up to the number of six in H. pomatia. Giraud (ibid.) notes
that this Osmia is much more often found in H. nemoralis than in H pomatia.
LICHTENSTEIN (U>id. p. xliv) records the economy of a species resembling
Osmia leucomelcena (K.), but generically distinct, and which establishes itself
in old nests of Pelopceus pectoralis, Duf.
Osmia ccementaria, Gerst, ? = spinolce, Lep, and O. claripennis, Schk.
(anthocopoides olim), = adunca, var. constans, teste Schenck (S. E. Z. xxxi.
p. 106), who considers that he has a $ example connecting ccementaria and
adunca.
Osmia leucomelcena, Smith, is certainly not identical with Kirby's insect
of the same name, and=interrupta, Sck.: Schenck, ibid. p. 107 [of. Gerst.
and Moraw. Zool. Rec. vi. p. 309].
Lithurgus cornutus d (Lep, Schk. JB. Ver. Nass. 1868, p. 332) ?= Osmia
aeuticornis, Duf.: Schenck, ibid. p. 107.
LICHTENSTEIN (Pet. nouv. 1 Aug. 1870, p. 108) refers to an insect which
he states should, according to Giraud's opinion, form a genus between Heriades
and Osmia. This he names Osmia glutinosa, but without any description or
note of locality. He states that it deposits its eggs and larval food in an unknown
glutinous matter.
Megachile argentata (F.) is recorded by Ritsema in Tijdschr. Ent. 2nd ser.
Deel v. p. 182, as using Polygonum convolvulus for its nest-lining.
Nests of Anthidium contractum and A. ornatum, and (?) of Osmia cyanea
are mentioned by Lichtenstein (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e ser. x. Bull. p. ix).
The max. palpi of Ceratina cucurbitina and C. cyanea are 6-jointed, not
6-jointed, as Gerstacker opines. Schenck, JB. Ver. Nass. xxi. & xxii.
p. 353.
A nest in a hollow currant-stem, referred with some little doubt to Ceratina
dupla (Say), is described and figured in Amer. Ent. & Bot. ii. p. 214,
f. 184.
