NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN HYMEN OPT ERA. 561 



Andrena hbra, n. sp. 



9 HeaJ and thorax: with the sculpturing almost hidden hy the pu- 

 bescence, through which the clypeus, vertex and mesonotum appear to 

 be somewhat closely punctured ; enclosed space at the base of median 

 segment large, coarsely rugose ; abdomen very minutely and closely 

 punctured ; lamina at base of labrum rather short, truncate at apex ; 2nd 

 joint of flagellum longer than the two following united ; abdomen with 

 the apical margins of segments 2 — 4 broadly depressed. Black ; flagel- 

 lum of antennae rufo-testaceous ; 1st and greater portion of 2nd abdo- 

 minal segments pale red ; apical 3 or 4 joints of all the tarsi rufo-testa- 

 ceous, calcaria pale testaceous, those on the posterior tibise long and 

 much curved ; pubescence on vertex inclining to fulvous, on mesono- 

 tum, scutellum and postscutellum short, pale fulvous, on inside of tarsi 

 pale fulvous-golden, anal fimbria black, with some fuscous or fuscous- 

 white hairs laterally ; remainder of pubescence, including scopa, greyish 

 white, and forming broad bands on the apical depressed margins of seg- 

 ments 2 — 4, where it is short; wings clear hyaline, nervures and tegu- 

 lae testaceous. 



Long. 10 mm. 



Habitat — Quotta ; a single specimen. 



This species is allied to A. pesh inica described above, but is larger, 

 the anal fimbria is black, not white, and the wings are not infuscated at 

 apex. It also appears to be near to ^4. transitoria (Mor.), but from this 

 species it may be distinguished by the clear hyaline wings, as well as 

 by the white pubescence on the front. 



ib) Abdomen reddish brown. 



Andrena flavo-facies, n. sp. 



9 Head and thorax with the sculpturing hidden for the most part by 

 the pubescence, abdomen very minutely and closely punctured ; head 

 slightly broader than thorax, clypeus rounded anteriorly, the lamina 

 at base of labrum short and inconspicuous, but somewhat broad ; 

 abdomen longer than head and thorax united. Head and thorax black, 

 abdomen reddish brown ; the mandibles at base, clypeus, and sides of 

 front pale yellow ; the labrum, mandibles m the middle, antennae, and 

 the basal and apical margins of segments 1 — 4 rufo-testaceous ; the
