NOTES. 



(1) Euthyglossa Rads. is omitted, as Friese states that it is Osiris. 



(2) Eusyiihalonia Ashrn., type Synhalonia edwardsii (Cress.), 

 does not seem to be a valid genus. 



(8) Meliturgopsis Ashm. is too near Emj)horopsis ; and its type 

 species is at present nameless, or rather, named only in MS. 



(4) Epimelissodes Ashm., for Melissodes atripes Cress., is a group 

 which I should like to recognize ; but at present I do not know how 

 to precisely limit it. 



(5) Peponapis Rob. should not be separated for Xenoglossa, I 

 think. Its type is X. pruinosa (^Say). 



(6) Amegilla Friese, I do not separate from Anthophora ; neither 

 do I separate Anthemcessa Rob. (type ahrupta Say). These should 

 perhaps rank as subgenei'a. 



(7) IHadasiella Ashm. I do not separate from Anthophorula. 



(8) Eucera Scop, is European. E. maculata Lep., if correctly 

 placed generically, is probably wrongly attributed to North America. 

 It was based on a 9 from the Dejean collection. It had the head 

 black haired ; thorax red haired above, beneath and at sides black 

 haired; sides of apex of abdomen covered with blackish red hair; 

 venter ciliated with ferruginous; wings hyaline, nervures fusco- 

 rufous; femora black, tibise and tarsi ferruginous. Evidently this 

 must be a striking insect. In former times it was not customary to 

 put locality labels on insects at the time of capture, if at all, and 

 errors were not uncommon. Thus Apis bostonimia Sulzer (for a 

 copy of the description of which I am indebted to Mr. Titus) is 

 supposed to be American, and from Boston ; but the description 

 and figure clearly indicate the European Bomhus hypnorum.
