Notes on the genus Prosopis, and on an additional species (F. con- 
fusa, Nyl.) to the list of British Hymenoptera. L. c. pp. 38 & 39. 
9 species are admitted as British, inclusive of F. confusa, not previously 
recorded. F. rupestris, Smith, is excluded, as probably only a var. of 
communis, Nyl. ; and F. variegata and hifasciata, Smith, are excluded 
as doubtfully British.

proposes to place Macropis between the Andrenoides and ScopuUpedes.
