368 Descriptions and Records of Bees, 



British Museum a good deal larger than phcedra, with the 

 malar space a little broader than long (in phcedra it is more 

 shining and fully as long as broad). The phcedra abdomen is 

 more shining, with finer punctures. They agree in venation. 

 Assuming this saevissima male to belong with reticulatus^ it 

 seems probable that phcedra is distinct. 



Andi-ena sodalis, Cam., published at the same time, is 

 evidently the insect standing in the Rothney collection under 

 a slightly modified name, sodalis having been earlier used by 

 Smith. It is a Golletes, with tiie dorsal hair of thorax bright 

 £ox-red, and the first abdominal segment perhaps more 

 distinctly punctured than in phcedra. I believe it is con- 

 specific with phcedra.
