'ITiere can be no doubt I think of the male of this species being 

 the Nomada Germanica both of Panzer and Fabricius. 



Sp 2. pleurosticta, SchafFer, Germ. Zeits. vol. i. p. 276. 2. 



Amongst a long series of Nomada f err uginata captured together 

 parasitic upon Andrena fulvescens, I have four examples which answer 

 exactly to SchafFer's descri])tions oi pleurosticta-, I am therefore in- 

 duced to consider it merely a variety of that species.

 I am unacquainted with this species.

Zeits. vol. i. p. 2. 277 ; Smith, Zool. vol. ii. 601. 16. 



SchafFer is in error in supposing A. Hillana to be the male of this 

 species ; Hillana is a variety of ochrostoma : nor is the A. xanthosticia 

 a var. of the female, but a good and distinct species which I possess 

 in my collection ; it is smaller than any example which I have seen 

 of lateralis.

Both Kirby's species quoted are undoubtedly females oi furva, but 

 the flavo-guttata of that author is a distinct species, as is also the 

 A . leucophthalma, which is a small variety of N. ruficornis, male. This 

 species is parasitic upon Colletes, as well as upon Andrena nana.
