This genus is named from irpoaamU, apparently in allusion to its seemingly masked face, most of the species having yellow markings more or less conspicuous upon the face. It is the least pubescent of any of the bees, even less so than those confirmed parasites, the genera No...- mada and Sielis, thus further tending to corroborate its apparently parasitical habits, for none of the truly poUi- nigerous bees are so destitute of hair. The ground- colour of the species is intensely black, variously deco- rated on the face, thorax, and legs, with markings of diflferent intensities of yellow; but one of our species, the P. variegate, is also gaily marked with red. Indeed exotic species, and especially those of warm climates, are often very gay insects. They have usually been considered as parasitical in- sects, from their being unfurnished with the customary apparatus of hair upon the posterior legs, with which pollinigerous insects are generally so amply provided.
