Melissodes desponsa Smith ist ein Q, atriventris Sm. ein (jf, beide zusammen 

 bilden M. nigripes Sm. ; doch ist das Q? von nigripes dasjenige zu desponsa, und 

 das Q von nigripes gehort zu atriventris; beide Arten sind gegen Cresson's 

 Catalog - - verschieden , und der Name nigripes hat zu entfallen ; die var. von 

 desponsa bei Smith diirfte bimaculata Lep., Cress, sein.

flattened, first and second joints equal, third and fourth a little shorter, and nearly 

 equal, fifth not one half as long as the fourth, sixth minute and much narrower than 

 the fifth, third and fourth joints with a dense fringe of long fine pubescence on the lo- 

 wer edge; basal joints of the labial palpi slender, with a narrow membranous margin, 

 first joint ciliate and not half the length of the second joint. An oval enclosure on the 

 base of the posterior tibiae ; the scopa long and loose ; pulvillus of the usual size. Stigma 

 of the anterior wings small ; marginal cell lanceolate not appendiculate ; second subrnar- 

 ginal cell quadrate, the recurrent nervure received between the middle and the apex; 

 third submarginal cell twice as long a broad , narrowed one-half towards the marginal ; 

 limb of the wing moderately punctured; externo-medial nervure abruptly bent; anal 

 lobe of the posterior wings equalling the submedial cell in length. The lateral line on 

 the abdominal segments slightly impressed ; disk of the sixth segment with a glabrous 

 elevated area of a subtriangular form , the sides of the apical portion of the area being 

 parallel and the apex obtuse; on each side of the tip of this area the apical segment 

 armed with an erect, recurved spine ; ventral segment fringed with long pubescence. 

 <3- The ciliation on the third and fourth points of the maxillary palpi very short and 

 not conspicuous. Antennae no longer than in the female. Enclosure at the base of the 

 posterior tibiae not distinct; posterior legs elongate, the femora swollen, the pubescence 

 short. Apical segment of the abdomen with no glabrous area and the tip not armed; 

 pubescence of the abdomen short". 



!) Clisodon n. gen. (xXetc-dowv) p. 479. Mandibles in both sexes tridentate , the tip 

 having a tooth beneath as well as above, the central tooth the longest. Area at the base 

 of the posterior tibiae of the female sharply defined and its tip narrowed and elongate. 

 Otherwise as in Anthophora. The disk of the sixth abdominal segment has a narrow 

 smooth area in the female ; in the male the apical segment is furcate or terminate in 

 two flattened lobes, and there is no distinct area at the base of the posterior tibiae. The 

 fifth and sixth joints of the maxillary palpi are equal in length in the male, but in the 

 female the sixth joint is only one-half as long as the fifth. The second transverse sub- 

 medial nervure forms a continuous curve with the bent portion of the externo-medial 

 nervure. Anthophora furcata Panz. scheint A. terminalis sehr ahnlich zu sein; doch 

 werden nur 2zahnige Mandibel angegeben!
