A HISTORY OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE 



DIPLOPTERA (Wasps) (continued) 



EUMENIDAK 



Odynerus spinipes, Linn. Treswell Wood, abundant, 

 July, 1899, burrowing into the soil among the 

 branches of old upturned tree-roots. The 

 beautiful external tubular structures forming the 

 entrances to the burrows were very numerous. 

 The parasites Chrysis ignita and C. viridula 

 (bidentata) were rather common about the 

 burrows. Numerous nests were also found in 

 the clay banb of the Lea Beck in Trcstoell vil- 

 lage ; in and about these several Chrysis viridula 

 and C. neglecta were captured. O. spinipes 

 has also been taken, although less commonly, in 

 several other localities.

ANTHOPHILA (Bees) 

 OBTUSIL1NGUES 



CoLLETIDAE 



Colletes succincta, Linn. Bulwell Forest, flying over 

 Erica cinerea 



daviesana, Sm. Widely distributed. At Bag- 

 thorpe, Nottingham, it occurs in profusion, burrow- 

 ing in the sandstone rock at the sides of the road- 

 cutting near the prison. The parasites Epeolus 

 productus and Chrysis ignita infest the burrows 

 in considerable numbers; indeed, in 1900 the 

 Epeolus was almost as abundant as the Colletes, 

 which as a consequence has been less common 

 since
