jolia and the goldenrod. Taken from July 10-27.

Calliopsis. 
Calliopsis andrenijormis Sm.

Only two females and three males of this species have been taken at Waldoboro 
(July 10th to August 7th); and the only flower record is Solidago juncea, Augu.st 7, 
1904. It is rather singular that all five specimens were collected in 1904; while in 
1905, when a special effort was made to obtain as many species of Anthophila as 
possible in this locality, no specimens of C. andreniformis were found.

table in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., Dec. 1898, p. 197, this runs to 35, and cannot be 
separated from P. asteris Robt.
