It is shown that for a connected cubic graph Γ , a vertex transitive group G ≤ AutΓ contains a large semiregular subgroup. This confirms a conjecture of Cameron and Sheehan (2001).

The Afrotropic subgenus Deranchylaeus; of the colletid bee genus Hylaeus is revised for the first time on the basis of all the available type material. Here, 28 new synonymies were detected: Prosopis flaviscutum Alfken and Hylaeus graaffi Cockerell = H. curvicarinatus (Cameron); H. microstictus Cockerell = dregei (Strand); H. bequaertianus Bridwell and H. ogilviei Cockerell = H. gabonicus (Vach...
