NOiMADA GOODENIANA. Kirby, 



Black, the tubercules on the thorax and at the base 

 of the wings yellow : the body with alternate bands 

 of black and yellow : wings pale red : antennae and 

 legs reddish yellow : the thighs black at the base. 



This variable but not uncommon insect was dedi- 

 cated by the illustrious author of " Monographice 

 Apum Anglite" to the late Doctor Goodenough, 

 Bishop of Carlisle. The insects of this genus of bees 

 are found in the months of April, May and June, in 

 lanes and against sunny banks — they are numerous 

 and well deserving observation : they are silent in 

 flight and are supposed to be parasitic.
