 and Prosopis are identical — signata Pzr. 53"2 (= bifasciatns 

 Jrn. Pf. 11' 30) should be cited as the Type of Prosopis 

 Jrn. (1801) which will sink as synonj'nious with the earlier 

 genus Hylaeus F. (1793).

[nee *NOMADA Lmk Syst. An. sans Vert. 274 no. 136 (I. 1801) 

 — variegata L. (Epeolus Ltr.) — this was not one of the origitial types 

 of Scopoli (1770), but it was inchided in No»iada by Fabricius 

 (1775)]. 



Nomada was founded by Scopoli, in 1770, on eight 

 species named as follows: — 1. riparia Sep.; 2. succincta 

 Sep. ; 3. squalida Sep. ; 4. rufescens Sep. ; 5. rufieornis 

 Sep.; 6. ranunculi Sep.; 7. praecox Sep.; 8. nasuta Sep. 



Of these succincta is stated by Fabricius to be (/ibba 

 F. (a Sphecodes) ; squalida is said by Gmelin to be larger 

 than gibba, with antennae twice as long (perhaps gibba F. 

 was a 9, and squalida Sep. a ^) ; Gmelin adds that ranun- 

 culi Sep. has the segments of the abdomen red at the 

 margin on each side ; that nasuta Sep. has an oblong abdo-
