1913. Phoetalia laevigata Caudell (not Blatta laevigata of Beauvois, 
1805), Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xliv, p. 603. 
Saussure’s description and figure of this species, in 1864, as 
Blaita laevigata Palis. Beauv., are very satisfactory though 
the colors of the figure are too brilliant. 
Brunner, in 1865, misidentified specimens of circumvagans 
as the present species, hence his redescription and use of the 
name pallida for the present insect, which at that time was 
generally considered to be Blatta laevigata. 
Wattenwyliella circumvagans (Burmeister). 
1838. N(auphoeta) circumvagans Burmeister, Handb. Ent,. II, p. 508. 
(Santa Catherina, Brazil; Teneriffe, Canary Islands; around the 
world in ships.) 
1858. Blatta marginicollis Stal, Eugenie’s Resa, Ins., p. 307. (Ma- 
deira.) 
1865. N(auphoeta) laevigata Brunner (not Blatta laevigata of Beau- 
vois, 1805), Syst. Blatt., p. 285, pl. vii, figs. 33a-e. (Madeira.) 
1910. P(haetalia) circumvagans Shelford, Gen. Ins., Fasc. 101, Epi- 
lamprinae, p. 8. 
Brunner’s description and figtires of the present species, as 
N. laevigata Pal., are by far the most explicit and satisfactory. 
An Adventure While Collecting Bees in Guatemala.* 
By WitMATTE PorTER COCKERELL, Boulder, Colorado. 
To the wise old saw: Blessed is the man who has a hobby, 
I would add, and many times blessed the woman. When I 
think of the good things I might have missed if I had not been 
collecting bees, I marvel that all travelers do not turn natur- 
[* Mrs. Cockerell was just a month in Guatemala. So far the fol- 
lowing new things have been described from her collections. Many 
of the things have not yet been worked up. I give only the things 
actually published: 1 tree (Phyllocarpus septentrionalis Donn. Smith), 
1 snail (Thysanophora cockerellae Pilsbry), 5 gregarines (descr. by 
Ellis), 4 Ichneumonidae (3 descr. by Viereck, 1 by Ckll.), 1 Chalcidid 
(descr. by CkIl.), 1 n. g. and sp. Orthoptera (descr. by CkIl.), 36 spp. 
and 11 subspp. of bees. (One additional bee has been sent for publica- 
tion, and a paper by Rohwer with numerous new wasps awaits publi- 
cation.)—T. D. A. C.]
