Bonihiis (la/il/johinii, Guoriii. 



The type of B. ni(/ripes, Ilaliday, is in the British i\liiscum, 

 atul does not appear to differ at all from duhlbulunii. Most 

 of the \ow^ series of this speeies in the Museum is from 

 Chile, but there is one from \^ del Lago HIauco, Patagonia, 

 ami one from Nose Peak Forest, Terra del Fucgo, Jan. 1!), 

 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 

 0.ful(/ida, Cv., but with mtieh broader abdomen, with hind 

 margins of segments brilliant purple; apex strongly bilobed. 

 The head is much broader than m/idyida, and the ocelli are 

 larger. The teguUe are green. The wings are not quite 

 so brownish as in fulgida, and the basal uervuro falls just 

 basad of the nervulus (xnfulgida it meets the nervulus). 



Aathidium japonicum. Smith. 



Examined in British Museum. Second recurrent nervure 

 going a short distance beyond outer intercubitus ; no pulvilli. 

 Looks like A. florentinuni, with the yellow on thorax re- 

 duced to small marks ou axilhe and scutellum. 



Dianthidium caturigense (Giraud). 



Anthidium caturigense was examined iu British Museum. 

 Pulvilli present ; second recurrent nervure going far beyond 

 outer intercubitus. 



Meg addle punctata, Smith. 



Smith's type is a male; in the British Museum my 

 yi. suffusipennis (type ? ) is placed as a synonym. However, 

 Smith's punctata ^ is larger and more robust than my 

 suj/'usipennis ? , 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 sufft/si- 

 pennis ? , and evidently belongs to it. Thus suffusipennis is 

 at least a distinct race, probably species. 



Megachile apifonnis, Smith. 



This type (?) is similar to M. basalis, Sm., type ( ? ), but 

 apifonnis is easily distinguished by the long black hair at 

 sides of abdominal segments (seen from above) bevond the
