PfiLOPOEUS BENGALENSIS. 



This is an external builder, erecting its nests on rough 

 walls, or corners, on grass, or on leaves. When on a grass 

 stem the mud is continued far up, thus breaking the out- 

 line of the cell, which is in consequence not so readily 

 observed. A solitary cell may be built, or over a dozen 

 may be placed side by side, the whole being then covered 

 well over with mud. (Home, Trans. Linn. Soc.NW. p. 163).
