Described from 4 $ and 8 S collected in the Boreal re- 

 gions of Mt. San Jacinto, Calif., at elevations of 75,00-9000 ft., 

 visiting the flowers of different species of Mimulus. Jnly, 1912 

 (Bridwell). The flowers were of two types, one with an open 

 throat into which the bees entered directly, while in those of 

 the other type with the closed throat they entered sidewise on 

 either side of the gibbons portion closing the throat. 



Type 9 , allotype and paratypes in the author's collection. 



24. Addendum oiv African Hylaeidae. 

 Nothylaeus Bevisi (Cockerell). 



Prosopis Bevisi (Cockerell). 



Anir. Durban Mus. 2:45 $, I^atal, 1917. 



Nothylaeus rubriplagiata (Cameron). 



Professor Cockerell (I.e.) reports that Dr. Brauns consid- 

 ers Braunsi Alfken as synonymous with this species. Alfken 

 has quoted Dr. Brauns as considering it identical with N. 

 heraldic us Smith. 



With the literature at hand I have been unable to make 

 certain whether N. rufipedwides or Junodi has precedence. 



Prosopis pernix, sandracata, and gracilis Bingham and 

 P. quadrilineata and qidnqueUneata Cameron are species of 

 Allodape, as has been pointed out by Meade- Waldo and Mfken.
