Long. 9 mm. 



Habitat — Quetta ; a single specimen. 



Comes nearest to A. opaca (Mor.), but may easily be distinguished 

 from it by the hyaline wings, and the long 2nd joint of flagellnm 

 of antennae. 



61) Abdomen black, the margins of the segments more or 



less testaceous. 



Andrena halictoides, n. sp. 



£ Slenderly built, minutely aciculate, front below antennae very finely 

 longitudinally striate, no enclosed space at base of median segment ; 

 head nearly twice as wide as thorax, lamina at base of labrum hidden 

 by the very long silky pubescence of the clypeus ; 2nd joint of flagellnm 

 of antennse longer than, but not twice as long as, the 3rd joint ; cheeks 

 strongly developed, with a large, bluntly pointed tubercle ; thorax short, 

 median segment small and narrow ; abdomen long and slender, shaped 

 like that of the same sex of Halictus. Black ; flagellum of antennae rufo- 

 piceous, the margins of the abdominal segments narrowly, and the apical 

 2 or 3 joints of the tarsi, testaceous, calcaria pale; pubescence greyish 

 white, very long, thick, and silky on clypeus and front, moderately long 

 and thick on thorax and legs, sparse, with no bands, and very slight 

 cilia on abdomen ; wings clear hyaline, tegulee dark, nervures rather 

 pale testaceous. 



Long. 6-7 mm. 



Habitat — Peshin ; seven specimens. 



Easily distinguished from any species near it in size by the large 

 tubercle on the cheeks. It has superficially the appearance of an 

 Halictus, but the clypeus and face are not elongate, and the basal 

 nervure is not sharply angled as in that genus. 



Andrena satellita, n. sp. 

 $ Head and thorax closely and finely punctured, but the sculpturing 

 obscured by the pubescence ; the space at base of median segment ill- 

 defined, minutely rugose; abdomen minutely, but not very distinctly, 

 punctured ; mandibles of moderate length, slender ; 2nd joint of flagellum 

 of antennae equal in length to the 3rd and 4th united, the 3rd joint 

 nearly twice as broad as long ; median segment rounded and narrowed 

 posteriorly ; abdomen very convex, shorter than the head and thorax 

 united. Black ; the clypeus and a spot on each side of it, reaching the
