Anthophora acervorum (L.), typical. 
St. Helens, I. of Wight, April 1921 (Cockerell) ; Ickle- 
sham, Sussex, March 1921 (Cockerell). 
I also have a male, without locality, from the Gerstaecker 
collection. The English males have black tegule, and the 
black patches on upper part of clypeus reduced to irregular 
spots or almost wholly absent. Possibly there is a distinct 
English race. 
Anthophora acervorum, var. lishonensis, nov. 
Q (type).—Aspect of the form pennata (Lep.) ; hair of 
labrum pale yellow, of cheeks white, of face and front black 
mixed with grey, of vertex black ; thorax above with hair 
mixed black and pale, slightly tawny, becoming pale tawny 
without black on metathorax (especially large tuft behind 
wings) and base of abdomen. Abdomen with pale tawny 
hair, slightly mixed with black on apical part of first seg- 
ment, more conspicuously on apical part of second and 
on dises of third and fourth, fifth with a fringe of pure 
black hair; sides of venter with greyish-white hair ; scopa 
of hind legs pale red ; tegulee ferruginous. Wings dusky 
greyish, not reddened as in nigrofulva. 
6 .—Hair greyish white aud black, without fulvous ; sides 
of clypeus with very broad black bands, enlarged above; no 
yellow spot on mandibles. The genitalia agree with those 
of a specimen from St. Helens, I. of Wight. 
Lisbon, Portugal, 1 9, 2 g,in the Botanic Garden, 
March 9, 1921 ( Wilmatte P. Cockerell). 
This may be essentially the same as the grey form which 
Altken regards as var. squalens (Dours), but Dours describes 
squalens as uniformly covered with dull red hair, It was 
collected at Amiens. A male from France, received from 
Vachal, agrees with the Lisbon males, but the female sent 
with it has the hair dark chocolate, approaching typical 
acervorum. The form pennata (Lep.), described from Oran, 
resembles the Lisbon variety in the white hair on cheeks, 
but it is not identical, the male especially being differently 
coloured. 
A paler variety than any of those indicated above has 
been named estivalis (Panzer), while the var. albipes, Friese, 
has the scopa on hind legs white instead of red. 
The female of lisbonensis is distinctly less robust than 
typical acervorum, wherein it more resembles the African 
forms. The var. capillipes (Sichel) resembles lishonensis in
