British Museum a good deal larger than phcedra^ with the 

 malar space a little broader than long (in phcedra it is more 

 shining and fully as long as broad). The phcedra abdomen is 

 more shining, with finer punctures. They agree in venation. 

 Assuming tliis saevissima male to belong with redculatus, it 

 seems probable that phcedra is distinct. 



Andretia sodalis, Cam., published at the same time, is 

 evidently the insect standing in the E-othney collection under 

 a slightly modified name, sodcdis having been earlier used by 

 Smith. It is a Golletes, with the dorsal hair of thorax bright 

 £ox-red, and tlie first abdominal segment perhaps more 

 distinctly punctured than in phcedra. I believe it is con- 

 specific with phcedra.

The following note is attached to the specimens in the 

 British Museum : — " I found these tunnelling in a bank and 

 storing their nest with pollen. The tunnel went into the
