Abstract

The genus Perdita forms one of the most interesting groups of bees of the North American fauna, and is one to which the author has devoted much attention during the last twenty-five years. The privilege of examining specimens of Perdita belonging to the United States National Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the California Academy of Sciences, the University of California, and the University of Kansas is gratefully acknowledged, as well as the help of many individuals, who during this time have placed their specimens at the author's disposal. Special mention should be made of J. C. Bridwell, J. Chester Bradley, Herman A. Scullen, E. Gorton Linsley, Charles D. Michener, George F. Knowlton, Richard M. Bohart, George E. Bohart, and Paul D. Hurd, Jr., all of whom have contributed many specimens and have discovered at least one particular species that in many cases would have otherwise remained unknown.
