INTRODUCTION

HE Subfamily Prosopidinae as here treated forms together with the Colletidinae the tribe Obtusilingues of Westwood, which includes ali those Bees in which the apex of the tongue is short or obtuse. Of the seventeen genera now known and herein enumerated, the genus Hylaeus, F. {Prosopis, F.) alone had to be considered by the earlier systematists in their various schemes of classiflcation. Hylaeus was first described by Fabricius (Ent. S3-st. Vol. 2 [1793]) when sixteen species were assigned to it, a heterogeneous assortment in accordance with our modern ideas. Latreille, as the first reviser of the genus, placed it in his section Andrenetes (Hist. Nat. Crust. Ins. Vol. 3, p. 369 [1802]) fixing as its type Hylaeus annulatus, F. i^Apis annulaliis, L.) (loc. cit. p. 372). Lepeletier (Hist. Nat. Ins. Vol. 2, p. 533 [1841]) places the genus in his tribe Prosopites, while more recently it has formed with the tribe Obtusilingues of

Westwood, F. Smith and other authors. Dalla T orre in his Catalogus Hymenopieroruvi includes Colletes and allied genera in Prosopidinae, while Ashmead includes Pasiphae in his Family Prosopidae (loc. cit.). As in the case with the majority of large, unwieldy genera, Hylaeus comprises a heterogeneous number of species. Certain groups of species have been satisfactorily marked off to form new genera when characters common to both sexes have been found. The real difficulty arises when secondary characters are considered, thus though the genera Palaeorhiza and Meroglossa, and the subgenera Euprosopis and N esoprosopis present excellent characters in the males, when the females are examined it will be found that there is really no satisfactory division between them and certain females of the genus Hylaeus.

MYAIENOPTEKA

Certain individual genera in the Prosopidinae are of quite exceptional interest, as pointed out by Perkins and Cockerell. In Merogiossa and Palaeorliisa tliere exists an extraordinary phenomenon, which so far as is at present known, is unique among Apidae, in that there is a marked condition of sexual dimorphism in the tongue, the apex of the ligula in that of the males being acute, whereas in the females it is of the usual blunt form. In the recently described genus Etifxilaeovliisa the tongue has attained an even greater developinent, equalling in length that of many Panurgine Bees. Unfortunately only the male is known in this genus. The discovery of acute tongues in these Insects revives the whole vexed question of Bee phylogeny. It is now generally admitted that Bees are derived from some blunt-tongLied fossorial wasp, and the blunt-tongued Bees have naturally been considered the most primitive forms. Can the blunt tongue be brought forward any longer as evidence of this? Perkins points out that in the Prosopine and Colletine Bees are two groups of blunt-tongued Apidae, having little else in common than the blunt tongue; we know, however, that both groups flave the similar habit of smearing their cells with a peculiar secretion, which forms a receptacle for the larval food stored inside. This domestic work is done entirely by the females and so far as is known, is quite peculiar to the two subfamilies of Bees with blunt or bifid tongues. Might not some males have retained the acute tongue, since they do not perform the same functions as the females ; in other words, why should not the acute tongues of Merogiossa and Palaeorhiza be the more primitive character?

The striking genus Hylaeoides contains a few species of very characteristic appearance, strongly resembling Eumenid wasps of the genera Alastor and Odynenis both as regards coloration and structure ; the dense black tomentum on the abdomen in particular giving the Insect a dull appearance. similar to that found in the wasps.

The minute Bees of the genus Turnerella are surpassed in smallness only by the most diminutive species of Trigona.

Habits. These B ees form their nests in stems of Bramble, Elder or similar shrubs, occasionally Dock is utilised. Their cells are lined with a semi-transparent membrane. The larvae are fed on a liquid food, probably pollen regurgitated in the form of honey.

In the Hawaiian Islands Perkins found some species of Nesoprosopis burrowing in the ground, others made cells in dead wood.

The author’s most grateful thanks are due to several kind friends and correspondents to whom numerous queslions concerning synonymy and classification have been addressed. Especially in this the case with Dr. R. C. L. Perkins, who has made a ciear study of these genera, Professor T. D. A . Cockerell, who has pointed out some omissions and errors in synonymy in a copy of the manuscript submitted to him, and to Dr. J. D. Alfken for help with the Palaearctic species.

The manuscript of the late Mr Meade-Waldo could not be published until 1923 owing to the European war and other material difflculties. Professor Th. Cockerell has brought the manuscript up to date by adding ali the species described since the late author prepared his manuscript, and has enumerated the species which have been described since Meade-Waldo death.

Professor Cockerell has also added some remarks regarding the synonymy and the validi ty of some species.

I hope that Professor Cockerell will accept mj^ best thanks for his kindness and for the interest that he has given to the publication of this part of Genera Insectorum.

14. Genus PALAEORHIZA Perkins

Palaeorhiza Perkins, Proc. Haiwaiian Ent. Soc. Vol. 2, p. 29(1908).

Characters. In general appearance much resembles some of the brightl}^ metallic Australian Prosopis, though some species are coloured otherwise. Scape of antennae in both sexes simple, not dilated; mandibles with two grooves, bidentate in the male, inner tooth more or less obscure, tridentate at apex in the female. Labrum simple, transverse, ciliated at ape.x. Ligula lanceolate, acuminate; labial palpi four-jointed, ali the joints subequal; maxillary palpi six-jointed, the two basal joints with a comb, the four apical joints more slender, their form elongate and subclavate. Anterior area of propodeum subtriangular, moderately large, smooth, well marked off from adjoining parts by difference in sculpture, but not enclosed. At the base of the second segment of abdomen there is a narrow transverse area, with the sculpture very different from that of the apical porlion of the segment; unless the abdomen is unnaturally distended, the area is concealed. Stigma well developed ; first cubital cell much longer than second, the latter receiving both recurrent nervures, neither being interstitial ; transveise median and basal nervures interstitial or nearly so. Anterior tarsi (9) with an arrangement of peculiar curved hairs for sweeping pollen towards the mouth. Two or three terminal ventral segments (cf) often with dense clothing of hair ; seventh ventral segment produced on each side into delicate lateral processes, affording good specific characters; eighth ventral segment simply produced in the middle. Genital armature much likethat of man}^ species of Prosopis, the stipites simple, pilose, without lacinia, sagittae extending slightly or considerabh^ behind these, curved downwards towards apex and sometimes apicali}^ compressed.

This genus has sexually dimorphic mouth parts; in the male the tip of the tongue is acute, while in the females it is of the ordinary blunt form usual in this sub-family.

Type of the genus. Palaeorhiza perviridis Cockerell.

paler markings, but occasionally black. Tongue short, broad, obtuse, emarginate at apex; maxillary palpi 6-jointed, short, subequal; labial palpi 4-jointed, first twojoints a little longer and stouter than last two. Wings with the stigma well developed, first cubital cell longer than second, radial cell acuminate at apex, or else rounded, never truncate. Calcaria of hind tibiae ( 9 )usually simple, sometimes (e. g. some species of subgenus Euprosopis) armed with spines.

Type of the genus. H. annidatus Linnaeus.

Geographical distribution. Cosmopolitan.

I. Subgenus EUPROSOPIS Perkins

Euprosopis Perkins, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), Vol. ii, p. 106 (1912).

Characters. Propodeum seen from in front extremely short and bounded behind by a raised line or ridge, the contained area being strongly rugose; behind this the propodeum is smooth or comparatively so. Genital armature of male short and robust, with short incurved apical portions of the stipites, the sagittae extending well behind them. Eighth ventral segment with long, slender, median, apical process; seventh with well-developed lateral wings, and giving off at the apex, on each side of the middle, two very long, curved, slender processes.

Type of the subgenus. Hylaeus (Euprosopis) hiisela Cockerell.

2. Subgenus KOPTOGASTER Alfken

Koptogaster Alfken, Ber. Bot. Zool. Ver. Danzig, Vol. 34, p. 23 (1912).

Characters. This subgenus may be distinguished by the long, narrow, head; by the surface of the truncation of the propodeum (median segment) being perpendicular, and the base of the first abdominal segment truncate, while the puncturing especially on the mesonotum and first abdominal segment is coarser than in the species of Hylatus, sensu str.

Type of the subgenus. Hylaeus (Koptogaster) bif asciatus ]nr\ne.

3. SuBGENUS NESOPROSOPIS Perkins

Nesoprosopis Perkins, Fauna Hawaiiensis, Vol. i, p.75, pl. 2 (1899).

Characters. Differs from typical Prosopis in the peculiar structure of the eighth ventral segment, of w.hich the apex is alwa5's produced into an extremely long process, which rises erect or suberect from the body on the ventral side. The segment may differ much in detail, but always maintains the same general form ; on its apical portion it is clothed with long hairs. Sixth segment compressed or carinate, emarginate at apex, the ventral surface of a part of the process on segment 8 resting wdthin the carina. Seventh segment entirely concealed, produced at apex into two processes, but varying little in general form. Genital armature subject to little variation. Sculpture in all the species feeble, the punctures being always fine and shallow, particularly on the abdomen. Anterior area of propodeum ill-defined. surface of truncation of median segment with a longish erect pubescence. As in Prosopis the scape m.ay be either dilated or simple. Species almost always black, occasionally ferruginous red.

Geographical distribution. Hawaiian Islands; Asia and Europe.

18. Genus PROSOPALICTUS Strand

Prosopalictus Strand, Suppi. Ent. Berlin, Vol. 2, p. 26 (igiS).

Characters. Male. General appearance of Halictns. Resembles Hylaeus in neuration. Near Emyglossa, but neuration different, face narrower, and scopa, when present, feeble. Size small. Genae veiy narrow. Palpi probably 6-jointed. Head circular, clypeus very broad. Vertex strongl}'’ convex. The ocelli in a curved triangle. Antennae massive, long. Tegulae large. Abdomen tapering, for a male short and broad. Two cubital cells, the first rather longer than the second. The radial cell is apically pointed, the apex reaching the costa. At the base of the labrum are two small tubercles. Mandibles narrow sickle shaped and sharp. Six dorsal segments, the legs without any special characters. Scopa inconspicuous ; without definite abdominal fasciae, hind tibiae and tarsi sparingly pubescent.

Female. Unknown.

Type of the genus. Pr. micans Strand.

Geographical distribution. Formosa.

19. Genus BRACHYGLOSSA Friese

Brachyglossa Friese, Zool. Jahrb. Vol. 45, Abt. f. Systematik, p. 578 (1922).

Characters. B. nifocaevulea Friese, 1. c. p. 679 . Bolivia. The generic name is preoccupied;

a substitute will be published by Dr Friese. The Insect resembles a large Panurgus in general aspect but has the mouth-parts of P rosopi dinae . Two submarginal cells. Labial palpi with 4 subequal joints. Maxillary palpi 6-jointed. Blue, with black hair; abdomen mainly red; labrum and mandibles yellow, the latter with three brown teath. Friese compares it with Hylaeoides and Poly glossa ; it probably belongs to the Diphaglossinae rather than to the Prosopidinae . The venation is Diphaglossine in aspect.

INTRODUCTION

EPUis la publication de ma Monographie des Ricaniides, Ami. Natiirh. Mus. Wien, Vol. i3 (1898) et de celles des Acanaloniides et des Flatides (op. cit. Vol. 16 et 17 [1901-02]), les travaux de Distant, Jacobi, Kirkaldy et Schmidt ont apporte de grands changements dans la classification de ces familles d’Homopteres.

Distant, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), Vol. 5 (1910) et Vol. 8 (igii); Rec. Indian Mus. Vol. 5 (1910), a revu, redetermine et classe systematiquement les types de Walker, qui se trouvent dans les collections du British Museum et l’on sait combien les descriptions des especes de Walker (1800-74) sont courtes et douteuses. Dans un autre*travail : Fauna of British India and Ceylon, Rhynchota, Vol. 3 (1906), Distant a deerit de nouveaux genres et de nouvelles especes que j’ai rappeles dans ce memoire. Kirkaldy a etudie specialement les especes d’Australie, Bull. Hawaian Sugar Planters Associalion, 12 (1913), mais ses vues ne peuvent cependant pas etre adoptees entierement.

Schmidt a cree des nouveaux genres et deerit beaucoup d’especes nouvelles dans VEiitonio- logische Zeitung de Stettin. II a surtout traite des tribus en particulier, par exemple celle des Nogodini, d’une maniere objective et detaillee.

Jacobi a augmente le nombre de ces familles d’Homopteres par la publication de nouveaux genres et de quelques especes nouvelles.

Caracteres generaux des trois famiiles. Forme de la* tete variable, tantot courte, tantot allongee. Front quadrangulaire ou allonge, avec ou sans carenes. Pronotum etroit. Ecusson graiid, presentant des carenes plus ou moins distinctes; carenes laterales souvent bifurquees en avant. Elytres grands, triangulaires et etroits tantot avec une membrane costale traversee par des ner- vures transversales, tantot celles-ci font defaut. Nervures longitudinales, bifurquees ou ramifiees formant un reseau plus ou moins dense; sur le corium, de nombreuses nervures transversales, formant souvent une a ti'ois lignes subapicales {lineae subapicales). Clavus presentant une nervure bifurquee et de nom- breuses nervures transversales et souvent de petits granules a sa base, son extremite en pointe est toujours fermee. Ailes assez grandes, a nervures longitudinales nombreuses. Certaines especes ont des epines sur les tibias posterieurs, d’autres n’en ont pas.

Caracteres. Cette faniille, qui se rapproche beaucoup des Flati dae, est particulierement caracterisee par le clavus, sans granulations et par le bord costal sans nervures transversales. Les elytres sont perpendiculaires, la nervation forme un reseau irregulier, quoique les nervures longitudinales soient distinctes; le clavus porte une nervure bifurquee, sa pointe est toujours fermee. Les tibias posterieurs n’ont pas d’epines. Les Acanaloniides se rapprochent beaucoup de la fami Ile des Issides.
