Abstract

In parts III and IV of this revision the species of the typical subgenus of Perdita belonging in the zonalis, halictoides, and octomaculata groups have been treated. This study is now extended to include the species belonging in that section of Perdita which may be called the ventralis group. In order to facilitate the study of these bees a key to the groups treated in Part III and subsequent parts is here offered. This key may afford some help in classifying the more typical members of the groups, but because of the multiplicity and extreme diversity of these insects, I make no claim for its infallibility.
