Pafiiirgus. 

 Taschenberg (" Die Gattungen der Bienen") separates /'awwr^^j from 

 Rhophites by its truncate, appendiaiiate, margimil cell. Three European 

 species, now before me, all exhibit this character, which is generic. It 

 therefore follows that none of the so-called Panurgus of Cresson's 1887 

 Catalogue belong to that genus. So far as known, we have no typical 

 Panurgus in North America ; two Pauurgus-Vike forms may be referred 

 to a new group, thus : 



Pseudopanurgus^ n. g. 



Type Ps. cethiops (Cr., as Panurgus). Includes also Ps. f rater cuius 

 (Ckll., as Calliopsis). Black, nearly naked, strongly punctured, wings 

 fuliginous, marginal cell distinctly but obliquely truncate at tip, two sub- 

 marginals, first recurrent nervure joining second submargifial cell no great 

 distance before its middle, second recurrent joining it Just be/ore its tip, 

 basal process of labrum large, subquadrate. In some respects this seems 

 to resemble Provancher's Chelynia (which I have not seen), but it is 

 surely not the same thing. 



Panurginus. 



Mr. Friese sends me P. ?nontanus, Gir., collected at Airolo, Andermatt, 

 and Innsbruck. It flies at the end of June and beginning of July ; one 

 specimen is marked as from Ranunculus. The clypeus is yellow in the ^ , 

 dark in $ . To this genus belong Panurgijius clypeatus (Cr.), bidentis 

 (Ckll.), viargaritensis (Fox), compositarum (Rob.), albitarsis {Cx.),ornatipes 

 (Cr.), rudbeckice. (Rob.), etc., all now referred in our lists to Calliopsis. 

 The European P. montanus has the venation of our P. clypeatus. 



Calliopsis. 

 This name can be retained for such species as C. andre?iiformis, 

 coloradensis, obscurellus, etc. There also remain some forms which must 

 be left in Calliopsis until a better place is found for them, although 

 they seem scarcely congeneric with andreniformis. 



Dr. Harrison G, Dyar has removed from New York to Washing- 

 ton, D. C, where he has accepted the position of Honorary Curator of 

 Lepidoptera in the United States National Museum. 



Mr Arthur J. Snyder, of Evanston, 111., has recently been 

 appointed Principal of the North Belvidere Schools, His address is now 

 521 East Madison street, Belvidere, 111.
