This extensive genus of bees is remarkable for the wasp-like 

 appearance of the species, as well as for an odour which they 

 emit like honey and otto of roses. Many of them are very 

 common, yet nothing is known I believe of their oeconomy : 

 they are frequently seen coming out of holes in warm sandy 

 banks, and Dr. Leach supposed them to be parasitical.
