Fossores. 
Walsh & Riley (Amer. Ent. i. pp. 122-138) give a general outline of 
the characters of the Fossoresy and discuss the economy and give figures of 
the following North-American species : — Chlorion cceridewn (Drury), f. 97 j 
liembex spimlcOy T^op., f. 98 j Sjdiex ichncumonea (L.), f. 99; AmmopkiUi 
piciipennisy sp. n., f. 100; Pepsis for^nosa (Say), f. 101 ; Stizus grandis (Say), 
f. 102; S, speciosus (Drury), f. 103; Pelopoeus limatus (¥.)y i.\0‘i'y Agenia 
bomhycinay Cresson, f. 106 (also mud-cells of other Agenicey f. 105) ; 2ry- 
poxylon albitarse (F.), f. 107 ; Ceropales rujiventris, sp. n., f. 108. At 
pp. 162-164 is an appendix by Walsh, and descriptions of the new species &c. 
PMlanthides. 
Philanthus interruptus (l^anz.) is not, as Smith states, identical with Crabro 
6-fasciatus (Rossi), according to Costa (Ann. Mus. Nap. v. p. 101, note), who 
has types of both species. Panzer’s fig. of P. d-cinctus is S' var. of are^ 
naria (L.), and not 6-fasciatus (Rossi), as quoted by Smith : Costa (/. c. 
p. 104, note). Panzer’s fig. of P. sabidosus is not to be referred to C. 
A-cinctay as Smith considers, but to emarginata (Pz.) : Costa (7 c. p. 107, 
note). 
Cerceris ^-cinctay D\>m..y=^truncatulay Dbm. : Thoms. 1. c. p. 248.
