Ethological accounts including nest structure and flower visiting records are given for four species of Ceramius Latreille; C. clypeatus Richards, C. micheneri Gess, C. toriger Schulthess, and C. braunsi Turner. In addition first flower visiting records are given for C. caffer Saussure and C. metanotalis Richards. Notes are given on usurpation of nests of C. braunsi by Megachile (Eutricharaea) aliceae Cockerell (Megachildiae) and the association with this bee of the parasitic bee Coelioxys (Coelioxys) recusata Schults (Megachilidae). In the discussion the ethological data are used to clarify the species grouping within the genus Ceramius.
