124 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



J . " Apical ventral valve emarginate, and genitalia like rosce or florea; 

 antennal joint 3 and those following subequal." This $ is the 

 type of A. desponsa, Sm., which Mr. Morice says is no doubt the 

 opposite sex of victima, as Smith suspected. "I think it is 

 trimmer ana, or close to it." Type locality, Nova Scotia. 

 In many respects this resembles Macgillivrayi, Ckll., but in that the 

 tubercle is by no means truncate. Smith's description of victima 

 $ seems to suggest that the anal fimbria is fulvous; in trimmerana 

 (which also appears to be a larger insect) it is black. 



Andrena integra, Smith, 1853. 

 ^ . " (Type.) Tubercle roundly truncate; clypeus granulose and punc- 

 tured; area obliquely strigose (about as coarsely as labialis), with 

 no raised border; abdomen shining, with distinct but very fine 

 delicate punctures, apices polished and reddish. One at least 

 of the specimens under this name is evidently different, with 

 emarginate tubercle and rugulose abdomen." Described from 

 "United States." 



This almost agrees with A. serotina, Rob., but the shining abdomen 

 may separate it. A. lauracea, Rob., is also similar, but has the 

 tubercle emarginate. A. spirceana, Rob., differs by the sharp 

 ridge bounding the area behind. 



Andrena simplex, Smith, [853. 

 $ . " Tubercle truncate; specimen very old and dirty, but area seems to 

 be dull, very finely rugulose or granulated; abdomen finely reticu- 

 late all over and also punctured, of an obscure red (perhaps only 

 faded ?), much narrower than the abdomen offuscata, with which 

 Smith compares it; it reminds me ratner of ana/is or chrysescelcs" 

 Described from "U. S." 

 This seem to be different from anything seen by me. 



Andrena clypeata, Smith, 1853 (nee Brulle'). 



" Like a small specimen of chrysosceles; tubercle truncate; area hid by 

 hairs and grease, seems ill-defined; abdomen aciculated, and I 

 should say not punctured, but it is very dirty in both the two 

 specimens, reddish like the last species." The type is a J from 

 Florida; the name, being preoccupied, has been changed by Dalla 

 Torre to ciypeolata. 



This is very like A. zizice, Rob.; should it be the same, zizice has 

 priority over ciypeolata.
