convex, and the basal joint of the antenne is entirely rufous: the 
females are readily distinguished ; lateralis by having angulated ma- 
cule on the abdomen, whilst those on ochrostoma are round. The 
male is widely distinct from that of ruficornis.

I have frequently seen examples of this species from the conti- 
nent, but it has not been found in England.

Sp. 18. flava, Schaffer, Panzer, Fab., Nylander, Kirby, &c. 
This is the true male of ruficornis.

Nomada neglecta, Schaffer (male). 
Some years ago I captured this species for the first time in En- 
gland ; altogether I have not seen more than a dozen examples cap- 
tured in this country: it is an autumnal species. ‘The N. neglecta 
of Schaffer is I think the male.

I doubt very much if Schaffer was acquainted with the male of 
this species, since he says it varies in having the spots on the collar 
and scutellum obsolete. Although | have seen great numbers, and 
once met with the species in profusion, I never saw the spot either 
obsolete or partially so ; it is even more constant than in the opposite 
sex.
