Since I wrote my observations upon this family, 

 I have received, by the kindness of M. Latreille, 

 that curious insect, hitherto unknown to other 

 entomologists, the Abeille tapissiere of Reaumur(z), 

 under the name of j4. Papaveris. Upon exami- 

 ning it, I find that it is no Melitta, as at first I sus- 

 pected, but a genuine /ipis, belonging to the se- 

 cond section (#*. c. 2.) of my family " labio in- 

 jiexo elongato" In habit it approaches nearest to 

 the Leaf Cutters (a), but its abdomen is more con- 

 vex, and as its habits and economy are somewhat 

 different, it may belong to a new subdivision. As 

 , I could not examine its proboscis without running 

 risk of destroying my only specimen, I am unable 

 to say of how many joints the palpi consist. As 

 M. Latreille intends to describe it himself, in a 

 paper he is preparing upon the Bees of the environs 

 of Paris, I must refer my reader to that paper, when 

 it makes its appearance.
