Andrena legata, n. sp. 

 9 Very finely aciculate, the front, including the clypeus, very finely 

 longitudinally striate ; niesonotum with sparse shallow punctures, 

 enclosed space at base of median segment large, triangular, depressed, 

 finely rugose ; lamina at base of lab rum small, slightly incised at apex ; 

 median segment narrowed posteriorly ; abdomen slightly shorter than 

 head and thorax united, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th segments narrowly, but 

 deeply, excavate at their bases. Black ; somewhat opaque, except the 

 abdomen, which is slightly shining ; flagellum of antennas towards apex 

 below, and the whole of the tarsi rufo-testaceous, calcaria pale testaceous, 

 apical margins of abdominal segments very slightly inclining to testa- 

 ceous ; pubescence sparse, greyish, inclining to flavous on clypeus 

 tarsi and anal fimbria ; no pubescent bands on abdominal segments, which 

 are scarsely even ciliated ; wings fuscescent, stigma dark testaceous, 

 nervures and tegulas testaceous. 



$ Similar, clypeus yellow with two small dark spots ; flagellum of 

 antennas piceous, 2nd and 3rd joints subequal ; abdomen as long as 

 head and thorax united, 2nd to 4th segments not or scarcely excavate 

 at base, but their apical halves slightly depressed ; wings almost clear 

 hyaline. 



Long. 6-7 mm. 



Habitat — Peshin ; four specimens. 



Nearest to A. tenuis (Mor.), but slightly larger. The $ can be dis- 

 tinguished by the fuscescent wings, and by the 2nd to 4th segments 

 being excavate at base ; the $ by the 2nd joint of flagellum being about 

 the same length as the 3rd, instead of equal to the 3rd and 4th united. 



Andrena bi-emarginata, n. sp. 



9 Sculpturing for the most part hidden by the pubescence, but 

 where it can be distinguished closely and finely punctured ; lamina at 

 base of labrum bi-emarginate, almost tridentate, antennas with the 2nd 

 joint of the flagellum as long as the two following ; space at base of 

 medium segment almost smooth, opaque. Black; the flagellum below 

 reddish, all the tarsi and sometimes part of the intermediate and posterior 

 tibise more or less rufo-testaceous, calcaria pale testaceous ; pubescence 

 grayish, except on the vertex, pronotum, mesonotum, scutellum and 

 postscutellum, where it is pale fulvous ; scopa and anal fimbria grey ; 

 abdomen almost entirely covered by pubescence, which is thickest and
