 f. 4. 



There can be no doubt I think of the male of this species being 

 the Nomada Germanica both of Panzer and Fabricius. 



Sp 2. pleurosticta, Schaffer, Germ. Zeits. vol. i. p. 276. 2. 



Amongst a long series of Nomada ferruginata captured together 

 parasitic upon Andrena fulvescens, I have four examples which answer 

 exactly to Schaffer's descriptions of pleurosticta ; I am therefore in- 

 duced to consider it merely a variety of that species. 



Sp. 3. Germanica, Panzer, Schaffer, Fab., St. Farg. 

 The male of ferruginata. 



Sp. 4. argentata, Schaffer, Germ. Zeits. vol. i. p. 276. 4. 

 I am unacquainted with this species. 



Sp. 5. lateralis, Panzer, 96. 20 et 21. Revis. p. 236 ; Schaffer, Germ. 



Zeits. vol. i. p. 2. 277 ; Smith, Zool. vol. ii. 601. 16. 



Schaffer is in error in supposing A. Hillana to be the male of this 

 species ; Hillana is a variety of ochrostoma : nor is the A. xanthosticia 

 a var. of the female, but a good and distinct species which I possess 

 in my collection ; it is smaller than any example which I have seen 

 of lateralis.

Both Kirby's species quoted are undoubtedly females of furva, but 

 the flavo-guttata of that author is a distinct species, as is also the 

 A. leucophthalma, which is a small variety of N. rufcornis, male. This 

 species is parasitic upon Colletes, as well as upon Andrena nana.

Nomada conjungens, Schliffer, Germ. Zeits. vol. i. pt. 2. 279. 8. 

 I must consider this species to be one of the numerous varieties of
