There can be no doubt I think of the male of this species being 
the Nomada Germanica both of Panzer and Fabricius. 
Sp 2. pleurosticta, Schaffer, Germ. Zeits. vol. i. p. 276. 2. 
Amongst a long series of Nomada ferruginata captured together 
parasitic upon Andrena fulvescens, I have four examples which answer 
exactly to Schaffer’s descriptions of pleurosticta; I am therefore in- 
duced to consider it merely a variety of that species.

I am unacquainted with this species.

Zeits. vol. i. p. 2. 277; Smith, Zool. vol. ii. 601. 16. 
Schaffer is in error in supposing A. Hillana to be the male of this 
species ; Hillana is a variety of ochrostoma: nor is the A. xanthosticta 
_a var. of the female, but a good and distinct species which I possess 
in my collection ; it is smaller than any example which I have seen 
of lateralis.

Both Kirby’s species quoted are undoubtedly females of furva, but 
the flavo-gutiata of that author is a distinct species, as is also the 
A. leucophthalma, which is a small variety of N. ruficornis, male. This 
species is parasitic upon Colletes, as well as upon Andrena nana.
