Records of Bees. 123 
Halictus japonicus, Dalla Torre. 
Smith described the male under the preoccupied name 
FHT. tarsatus. I found the female in the British Museum 
collection, and, as Vachal himself suggested, it appears to be 
the same as F/. teniolellus, Vachal, which may be safely 
regarded as a synonyin. 
Halictus subopacus, Smith. 
Soochow, China (N. Gist Gee, 118, 119). 
Another species of the type of /7. basicir us, from which it 
is known by the dullish and closely punctured first abdominal 
segment. 
Halictus poonaénsis, n,n. 
Halictus torridus, Caméron, 1898 (not Smith, 1879), 
Poona, India, 
Flalictus nusaénsis, Friese, in litt., 1914. 
Halictus nigroviridis, Friese, 1914 (not Graenicher) 
Java.
