662 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell—Deseriptions and 
Halictus exlautus (Cockerell). 
Halictus punctatus, var. exlautus, Ckll., 1905, is apparently 
an individual variation, not a distinct race; but as the name 
H. punctatus, Smith, 1879, is preoccupied, exlautus is avail- 
able for the species. 
FHalictus latebralis, n. n. 
Nomia flavipes, Sm., 1858, is an Halictus, the name pre- 
occupied by flavipes (Fab.), which is a distinct species, as 
Dr. Perkins has demonstrated. The type, from Celebes, is 
at Oxford. Outer recurrent nervure and intercubitus nearly 
obsolete. 
Flalictus halictoides (Smith). 
Nomia halictoides, Sm., 1858, from Celebes; type at 
Oxford. There are bands of tomentum at bases of abdo- 
minal segments. 
Nomia clavata, Smith. 
From Gilolo; type at Oxford. N. ceratina (Smith) is 
very closely allied, but has first abdominal segment more 
slender, and head broad and transverse. See also ‘ Ento- 
mologist,’ 1915, p. 178. 
Parasphecodes talchius, Smith. 
The type (¢) is at Oxford. Hair of head and thorax 
above ochraceous; first recurrent nervure falling a little 
short of second intercubitus; area of metathorax with 
close-set thick obtuse ruge; the sculpture not prominent ; 
abdomen dullish ; antennz very long, entirely black. 
In my table in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., Sept. 1904, p. 209, 
this falls nearest to P. hilactus, Sm., from which it is easily 
known by the black femora. 
Nomia basalis (Smith). 
Halictus basalis, Sm., &, from Singapore, is in the Oxford 
Museum, and is a Nomia with claviform abdomen, first 
segment bright ferruginous.
