130 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



natus, Panz., one specimen ; C. vagus, L., a blQck of rotten 

 wood, containing pupse of this very common insect, seen on 

 November 14th, 1911, produced imagines towards the end of the 

 following June. The cells appeared, from the debris, to have 

 been stored with Lucilins ccesar, L., and two other species of 

 MuscidcB, but I cannot retrieve my note on the point. C. litura- 

 tus, Panz., on Heracleum, common in one spot, in a wood ; 

 C. interruptus, De Geer, one female, July 31st, 1913, Upper 

 Bockbampton ; Odynerus lavipes. Shuck., one male, June 11th, 

 1913, Coombe wood; 0. /ternc/«'r, Saussure (bascdis, Sm.), one 

 female, July 24th, 1912. On July 12th, 1913, I found a large 

 colony on a limited stretch of sandy hollow on a heath, visiting 

 Erica, and took both sexes. One female taken was, apparently, 

 just entering her burrow with a small green lepidopterous larva 

 (unfortunately lost before full examination) in her mandibles. 

 I had not time to dig out the cells. The hole was on a fiat bare 

 spot. No other burrows were seen iu proximity, despite gregarious 

 habits common to other species of Odynerus. On July 21st 

 there were but one or two examples about. I took one female 

 0. jyictus, Curt. ; 0. sinuatiis, F. ; Eumenes coarctata, L., common 

 on the heaths ; Colletes succinctus, L. I have a specimen with 

 only two submarginal cells in its wings, otherwise normal. 

 Prosopis confusa, Nyl. ; Sphecodes reticulosus, Thoms., one female, 

 July 12th, 1910, Moreton ; one female, June 2nd, 1913, East 

 Stoke ; S. variegatus, v. Hag. ; Halictus prasimis, Sm. ; Andrena 

 pilipes, F.; A. bimaculata, Kirb., one female, August 1st, 1912; 

 A. roses, Panz. (v. spinigera, Sm.) ; A. apicata, Sm., one female, 

 April 17th, 1911, in a wood; A. prcecox, Scop.; A. fuscipes, 

 Kirb., common on the heaths; A. hattorfiana, Fab.; A. cetii, 

 Schr,, common on Scabiosa in July, August, and September; 

 A. chrysosceles, Kirb. ; A. analis, Panz.; seems rather peculiarly 

 liable to abnormal venation. In a short series a male (on one 

 side) and two females (on both sides) show but two submarginal 

 cells. A. argentata, Sm., Studland heath; A. dorsata, Kirb.; 

 A. similis, Sm. ; Macropis labiata, F., not uncommon on Lysi- 

 machia in July and August; Cilissa hcemorrhoidalis, F. ; C. lepo- 

 rina, Panz. ; Panurgus calcaratus, Scop., common ; P. ursimis, 

 Gmel., very common; Nomada roberjeotiana, Panz.; N. bifida, 

 Thoms., very common; N. borealis, Zett., not uncommon; 

 Epeolus rufipes, Thoms. ; Ccelioxys quadridentata, L. ; C. acumi- 

 nata, Nyl. ; Megachile circumcincta, Lep. ; ilf. ligniseca, Kirb. ; 

 M. versicolor, Sm., four females, earliest June 16th, 1912, latest 

 August 25th, 1913 ; Osmia pilicornis, Sm. ; O. auridenta, Panz., 

 common on Ajuga in May; 0. bicolor, Schk. ; 0. leucomelana, 

 Kirb., one male; 0. spinulosa, Kirb.; Melecta luctuosa. Scop.; 

 Podalirius retusus, L. ; P. furcatus, Panz., common, fond of 

 Stachys sylvatica.
