Lamarck, in January 1801, made succincta L. the Type 

 of Andrena. Latreille, in 1802, also cited succincta L. as 

 a type, but of another genus, viz. Colletes Ltr. At first 

 siglit it might appear that Colletes Ltr. would consequently 

 have to become a synonym of Ayulrena F. (isogenotypic), 

 but before so deciding it will be wise to consult the original 

 description of succincta L. [Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1. 576]. 

 The character there mentioned which at once arrests 

 attention is " rostrum suhulatum " — this in our judgment 

 makes it perfectly certain, that whatever succincta L. was, 

 it was not a Colletes. In Colletes the tongue is short, broad, 

 and bifid at the apex — " subulatuni " is of all possible words 

 least applicable to it ! Next we note that succincta has 

 four white bands (presumably four only) on the abdomen, 

 whereas Colletes species generally have all the segments
