NEW BRITISH BEES DISCOVERED SINCE THE 

 PUBLICATION OF KIRBY'S MONOGRAPHIA. 



FAMILY ANDRENIDJE. 



Genus Colletes. 



1. Colletes marginata, Smith (Zoologist, iv. 1277). This 

 species is found at Little Hampton, Sussex. I know of no 

 other locality. 



Genus Prosopis. 



2. Prosopis cornutusj Smith (Zoologist, vi. 2204). This 

 species was in the collection of Mr. Kirby, but without a 

 name : I discovered the male some years ago at Hawley, 

 Hants ; it was described as a distinct species, P. plantaris, 

 but having bred the sexes from dock stems, the oldest name 

 is retained. 



3. Prosopis punctulatissimus, Smith (Zoologist, vi. 2205). 

 This species has not occurred near London ; I have more 

 than once taken it in Kent, near Birch Wood. 



4. Prosopis hyalinatus, Smith (Zoologist, vi. 2206 ) ; very 

 abundant in many localities, particularly so at Sandown Bay, 

 Isle of Wight. 



5. Prosopis varipes, Smith (Catalogue of Hymenopte- 

 rous Insects, Part i. p. 21, 12). This species is found in 

 Yorkshire, but I know of no other locality. 



Genus Sphecodes. 



6. Sphecodes sub quadratus, Smith (Zoologist, iii. 1014); 

 occurs in the London district, and in other localities. 



Genus Halictus. 



7. Halictus gramineus, Smith (Zoologist, vii. App. 58).
