 This insect, although it does not entirely agree 

 with Panzer's description, is most accurately re- 

 presented by his figure of his y/. campestris, so 

 as to leave no doubt of their identity : if my figure 

 of it had not been taken when I received the num- 

 ber which contains his, I should have omitted it 

 as unnecessary. The aculeate of this bee, as well 

 as of two or three others of the present section, 

 has no corbicula, nor is the apex of its posterior 

 tibiae furnished with a pecten, or its plantas with an 

 auricle at their base, like the other Bomhinatrices,
