VERBENAPIS - A CORRECTION.
In Psyche, vol. 29, p. 162 (August 1922) the name of the genus of bees, Verbenapis is misspelled. .Although the error is
quite obvious, Professor Cockerel1 has reminded me that it might receive the attention of nomenclaturists unless corrected. [Editor.] Pu&e 30:30 I1923). htlp:ffpsyclK.mlcliib.ora/30/30.030 hlml
