NEW BRITISH BEES 
this to be only a very large specimen of the male of A. 
fulvicrus. 
29. A. similis, Smith (Zoologist, vii. App. 60); very like 
the male of A. albicans , but distinct; found by Mr. Walcott 
near Bristol. 
30. A. extricata , Smith (Zoologist, vii. App. 59) ; very 
like A. fulvicrus ; Weymouth, and also at Southend. 
31. A. Kirby i y Curtis (British Entomology, fol. 129); 
said to be found near Norwich ; the type is in the British 
Museum. I possess specimens from the Morea. 
32. A. argentata, Smith (Zoologist, v. 1920); found at

Dr. Nylandcr told me the male was the A. barbatula of 
Zetterstedt.

Three specimens of the male are all which have hitherto been

Genus Megachile.

covered by Mr. Thwaites, near Bristol. I have taken it a* 
Weybridge, but hitherto it has proved to be very rare; rt 
closely approaches M . centuncularis , but the scopa which 
clothes the abdomen beneath is of two colours, black and 
fulvous. 
35. M. pyrina, St. Farg. The male is the 31. ruf tarsi*) 
the female the M.fasciata of the Catalogue of British Hy* 
menoptera; it occurs at Weybridge, but rarely. 
36. M . argentata , Fab. This is identical with M- L ea ‘ 
chella } of Stephens’s Catalogue, which I described in the
