ANDRENID/E. 



Andrena Latreille. 



1. Andrena frigida F. Smith. 



Valdez, 2 9 , June 4, 1919. 



Originally described on the female from Nova Scotia. Morice 

 and Cockerell (Canad. Entom., XXXIII, 1901, p. 149) have 

 published a few notes on the type specimen which is still pre- 

 served in the British Museum. Ashmead (1902, p. 131) records 

 the male from Muir Inlet and Sitka. 



VESPOIDEA. 



In addition to the species mentioned below, Ancistrocerus 

 albophaleratus (Saussure), one of the Eumenidae, is known from 

 Alaska (Ashmead, 1902). 



VESPID^. 



Vespa Linnaeus. 



Only two members of this genus, V. norwegica and its var. 

 marginata, have been heretofore recorded from Alaska; I have 

 also seen from that region a female of V. rufa Linnaeus var. 

 americana R. du Buysson, a form not represented in the present 

 collection. 



1. Vespa (Dolichovespula) diabolica Saussure. 



Katmai, 1 9 , June 10, 1919. Savonoski, 5 9,1 9 , and 2 cf , 

 July and Aug., 1919. There is a male of this species from 

 Skagway, Alaska, Aug. 42, 1918, (F. M. Jones Coll.), in the 

 American Museum of Natural History. 



2. Vespa (Dolichovespula) norwegica Fabricius (F. borealis 



Kirby, under which name the species is mentioned by 

 Ashmead in 1902). 



This is Sladen's 7iorvegicoides (Ottawa Naturalist, XXXII, 

 1918, p. 71), which I am not prepared at present to separate 

 from the European norwegica. 



The collection contains only two specimens of the typical 

 form, both from Savonoski; a cf taken Aug. 8, 1919, and a 9 , 

 July, 1919. 



This species has previously been recorded from Sitka and 

 Virgin Bay by Ashmead (1902) and from Point Barrow (north 

 of 70° N. lat.) by myself (Buh. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., XXXIX, 

 1918, p. 22).
