438 Lieut.-Col. C. T. Bingham on 
LXI.—On a Collection of Hymenopterous Insects from the 
Philippines. By Lieut.-Col. C. T. Brneuam, F.Z.S. 
A SMALL collection of Hymenopterous insects sent by 
Mr. Whitehead from Cape Engano, Luzon, in the Philip- 
pines, has been kindly entrusted to me by Mr. Ogilvie Grant. 
The collection contains sixty-seven specimens belonging to 
twenty-seven species, a list of which is here given. 
Fam. Apide, Leach. 
1. Xylocapa bryorum, Fabricius. 
Apis bryorum, Fabr. Ent. Syst. ii. p. 321. 28, ¢. 
Bombus bryorum, Faby. Syst. Piez. p. 348. 28. 
Xylocapa dimidiata, Lepel. Hym. ii. p. 199. 44, 9 ; Smith, Cat. Hym. 
Ins. B. M. ii. p. 357. 66; Journ. Linn. Soe. xi. (1867) p- 394. 25. 
Xylocapa br. yor wm, Smith, "Mon. Gen. Xylocapa, Tr. Ent. Soc. (1874) 
pt. i. p. 275. 59, 39; Bingh. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. v. 
(1890) p. 251. 25. 
Two females in the collection which agree with Lepeletier 
de St.-Fargeau’s description of X. dimidiata, which species, 
I think, there is no doubt is the female of the Apis bryorum 
of Fabricius. ‘The present species occurs in South Tenas- 
serim, where I have taken both sexes. 
2. Xylocapa collaris, Lepeletier. 
Xylocapa collaris, Lepel. Hym. ii. p. 189. 26, 9; Smith, Cat. Hym. 
Ins. B. M. ii. p. 363. 47; Journ. Linn. Soc. xi. (1867) p- 893. 11; 
Mon. Gen. Xylocapa, Tr. Ent. Soe. (1874) pt. ii. p. 270. 46, dQ. 
Xylocapa Dejeann, pene Hym. ii. p. 209. 59, 5; Smith, Cat. Hym. 
Ins. B. M. ii. p. 857. 62; Journ. Linn, Soe. xi. (1867) p. 894, 21. 
One specimen in silent (a male), which has the clypeus 
of a curious reddish tint instead of yellowish white. Lepel- 
etier’s two species were united on the authority of M. Mouhot, 
who forwarded the sexes from Siam. ‘The species is common 
in Burma and Tenasserim, and extends to India and Ceylon. 
I have taken a long series of both sexes near Maulmain. 
3. Megachile atrata, Smith. 
Megachile atrata, Smith, Cat. Hym. Ins. B, M.i. p. 182. 112, 9; Journ. 
Linn. Soe. xi. (1867) p. 388.15; Bingh. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. 
Soe. v. (1890) p. 247. 19. 
One female in the collection of the variety noted by Smith 
as having yellowish wings. This species was originally 
described from the Philippines.
