2GG [November, 



A few other additions to the Scottish list, namely, T'espa austriaca (Mid- 

 lothian), Andrena fuscipes (near Kingussie, and this year at Aberfoyle), Andrena 

 lapponica (Midlothian), Nomada borealis (Dollar) dwA Bomhus soroensis (E\\n,x\^ooi, 

 Lanarkshire), and one addition to the British list, namely, Andrena rtificrus (from 

 Aberfoyle), have already been recorded by me either in this Magazine or in the 

 Annals Scot. Nat. Hist. 



Altogether I have taken close on one hundred species of Aculeates in Scotland ; 

 besides those named above, the following, though already on the Scottish list, are 

 perhaps also worthy of mention : — Ceropales maculata (Callander and near Thornton 

 in Fife), Pemphredon lethifer (Aberlady, Kinghorn), Nysson spinosus (Aviemore), 

 Crabro clavipes (Aberfoyle), Crabro varius (Aberlady, North Queensferry, &e.), 

 Colletes suceincta (Cromdale), C. Daviesana (Musselburgh), Halictus leucopus 

 (St. David's in Fife, Blair Atholl), Andrena nigriceps (LufEness), A. Wilkella 

 (Kinghorn), A. analis (near Midcalder, Thornton, &c.), Cilissa hcemorrhoidalis 

 (North Q.ueensferry, Aberdour, &c., in Fife), Nomada obtusifrons (near Thornton in 

 Fife), Nomada bifida f' (J Callander, 5 9 Philpstoun in Linlithgowshire, about the 

 burrows of Andrena albicans), Megachile Willughbiella (Dunbar), M. circumcincta 

 (Kinghorn, Gullane, &c.), Bombus Latreillellus race distinguendus (Dunbar, Lin- 

 lithgow, Aberfoyle, &c.), B. Jonellus (Balerno, near Edinburgh, Callander, Elvanfoot, 

 etc.),-B. lapponicus (Kingussie, Callander, Lomond Hills, Balerno, &c. ; and also on 

 the Isle of May and the Bass Rock, at the mouth of the Firth of Forth). 



The commonest Psithyrus in the Edinburgh district is a form of P. restalis, 

 believed by Mr. Saunders to be the P. distinctus of Perez. I have not yet 

 ascertained which Bombus it lives with, but from what I have observed, I have no 

 doubt B. terrestris is its host. 



The Osmia from near Blair Atholl, recorded by me in 1899 under the name of 

 O. parietina, is, Mr. Saunders now tells me, O. inermis, Zett. — William Evans, 

 38, Morningside Park, Edinburgh : October \Wi, 1900. 



Aculeate Hymenoptera in Scotland. — Besides Crabro carbonarius, Dhlb., which 

 was described in our last number. Col. Yerbury met with the following Aculeates 

 during his stay in Scotland which are worth recording, either on account of their 

 rarity or for the localities in which they were found. 



Myrmiea rubra r. lobicornis, <J and $, Nethy Bridge, August 11th, 1900. 

 Pompilus spissus, Schiodte, ^ , Nethy Bridge ; miguictilaris, Thorns., $ , Golspie ;

 examples with the labrum black, otherwise exactly agreeing with the ordinary form 

 with white labrum. Crabro peltarius, Schreb., Nethy Bridge ; clavipes, Linn., 

 Nethy Bridge, Golspie, The Mound, Invershin ; palmipes, L., Nethy Bridge ;

 this rarity at Nethy Bridge, July 1st, 1900. Megachile circumcincta, Lep., g 

 and ? , Nethy Bridge, Golspie ; one ? has a patch of wliite hairs on one side of 

 the clypeus of the same colour as in the ^ , and doubtless due to a touch of
