Records of Bees. 667 
Bombus dahlbohmii, Guérin. 
The type of B. nigripes, Haliday, is in the British Museum, 
and does not appear to differ at all from dahlbohmii. Most 
of the long series of this species in the Museum is from 
Chile, but there is one from V. del Lago Blanco, Patagonia, 
and one from Nose Peak Forest, Terra del Fuego, Jan. 19, 
1905 (R. Crawshay). The last is, perhaps, the most 
southern record for any bee in the world. 
Osmia foxi, Cameron. 
I examined the type in the British Museum. It is like 
O. fulgida, Cr., but with much broader abdomen, with hind 
margins of segments brilliant purple; apex strongly bilobed. 
The head is much broader than in fw/yida, and the ocelli are 
larger. The tegule are green. The wings are not quite 
so brownish as in fulyida, and the basal nervure falls just 
basad of the nervulus (in fulgida it meets the nervulus). 
Anthidium japonicum, Smith. 
Examined in British Museum. Second recurrent nervure 
going a short distance beyond outer intercubitus ; no pulvilli. 
Looks like A. florentinum, with the yellow on thorax re- 
duced to small marks on axillee and scutellum. 
Dianthidium caturigense (Giraud). 
Anthidium caturigense was examined in British Museum. 
Pulvilli present ; second recurrent nervure going far beyond 
outer intercubitus. 
Megachile punctata, Smith. 
Smith’s type is a male; in the British Museum my 
M. suffusipennis (type ? ) is placed asasynonym. However, 
Smith’s punctata g is larger and more robust than my 
suffusipennis ¢, and the abdomen is more heavily and 
closely punctured in punctata. A much smaller male in the 
Museum (56. 43) has the abdomen punctured as in suffusi- 
pennis 3, and evidently belongs to it. Thus sugfusipennis is 
at least a distinct race, probably species. 
Megachile apiformis, Smith. 
This type (2) is similar to M. basalis, Sm., type ( ¢ ), but 
apiformis is easily distinguished by the long black hair at 
sides of abdominal segments (seen from above) beyond the 
43*
