142 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



H. armoricanus. — Hyeres, May 18th, 1905. 



H. carlince. — Abries (Hautes Alpes), July 20th to 22nd, 1904. 

 Berisal, July 22nd and 23rd, 1903. 



H. cirsii. — Albarracin, July 27th to August 2nd, 1905. 



H. bellieri. — Beauvezer (Basses Alpes), August Ist and 2nd, 

 1906. 



Mr. Rayward also made preparations of all my Hesperia 

 malvae and H. malvoides, and these come out as follows : — 



Hesperia malvae. — Aigle, June 26th, 1902. Buda Pest, 

 May 30th, 1909, and May 11th, 1910. Saeterstoen, Norway, 

 June 4th, 1912. 



Hesperia malvoides. — Eiffelalp, Zermatt, July 4th, 1902. 

 Martigny, June 27th to 29th, 1902. Aigle, July 12th, 1902. 

 Albarracin, June 6th to 19th, 1913. Guethary, near Biarritz, 

 May 23rd, 1908, and June 23rd to 26th, 1913. Hyeres, April 

 13th, 1904, and May 13th to 18th, 1905. 



It will be noted that I have specimens of both these species 

 from Aigle. The examples of H. malvae were taken in the fields 

 at the back of the Grand Hotel, and those of H. malvoides 

 somewhere along the Sepey Road. I cannot at this length of 

 time remember the exact spot where they occurred, but on the 

 day on which they were taken I walked up as far as Vuargny.

A BEE RESEMBLING A WASP. 

 By T. D. a. Cockerell. 



Australia has long been known as the home of the curious 

 genus HylcEoides, bees presenting the most extraordinary resem- 

 blance to Eumenid wasps. I have now to record a bee, just 

 received from the Queensland Museum, which looks at first sight 

 like some Crabronid wasp ; so much so that I could hardly 

 believe, until I had examined it with a lens, that it was really 

 a bee. 



Euryglossa crahronica, sp. n. 



$ . Length, 11 mm. ; expanse, 14^, the wings unusually short ; 

 robust, black, marked with yellow, with very scanty greyish-white 

 pubescence ; head broad, face and front shining ; palpi short ; blade 

 of maxilla rounded, about as long as wide ; mandibles bidentate, dull 

 yellowish basally, ferruginous apically ; labrum black ; clypeus bright 

 lemon-yellow, the lower border narrowly black, the yellow area 

 depressed in middle above (following clypeal margin) and constricted 

 at sides, the whole having the outline of a low-crowned soft hat with 

 the brim turned down ; supraclypeal area shining, with very sparse 

 strong punctures ; flagellum bright ferruginous beneath ; thorax 

 wholly black except the tubercles, which are partly yellow ; meso- 

 thorax and scutellum shining, well punctured ; area of metathorax
