The nature of this paper is explained by its title. It consists of brief 
synonymic notes, too numerous to be repeated here.

Aculeata. Collected by A. E. Eaton in 1880. Ent. M. M. xviii. 
pp. 165-171. 
A few new species are described. Pages 169-171 fall into 1882, and

The character of simple or branching hairs is maintained even in the 
hairs between the facets of the eyes in hairy-eyed species. The sharp 
hairs on the hind tibiae of Andrena, and on the front tibiae of Bomhus, are 
probably cleaning instruments. The scale-like hairs on Ccelioxys and 
Andrena are not true scales.

The larva of Dasypoda hirtipes discharges no excrement till it is full 
grown ; when it ceases to feed, it discharges the undigested remains of its
