margins of ventral abdominal segments more or less testaceous ; pubes- 

 cence griseous, snow-white, or nearly so, on front and on the sides of 

 median segment ; basal and apical margins of abdominal segments 2 — 4 

 and the whole of segment 5 with short creamy-white pubescence, this 

 beino- often abraded at the basal portion of the segments ; anal fimbria 

 and pubescence on inside of posterior tarsi with an inclination to fulvous ; 

 wings hyaline, nervures and tegulae testaceous. 



$ Similar to the $ as regards the sculpturing ; labrum yellow, as well 

 as the clypeus and base of the mandibles ; 3rd and following joints of 

 flagellum of antennae light-red below; the testaceous margins of abdomi- 

 nal segments much narrower, and the bands, as well as the whole of 

 the head and thorax, less pubescent ; pubescence on inside of posterior 

 tarsi bright fulvous ; nervures inclining to red. 



Long. 9 11-12 mm.; $ 9-10 mm. $ antennae 7 mm. 



Habitat — Quetta; Peshin ; common in May. 



The $ seems to be allied to Eucera radoszhowshii (Mor.) The 

 $ is perhaps nearest to the same sex of E. speetabUis (Mor.) and orien- 

 talis (Friese), but may be at once distinguished by the flagellum of 

 antennae being almost entirely light red below. 



Eucera (Macrocera) spectabilis (Mor.). 



Common at Quetta. 



Eucera (Macrocera) turcestanica (Dalla Torr.). 



I identify with some doubt some Quetta specimens as this species. 

 Podalirius vedettus, n. sp. 



$ Clypeus and front closely and finely, labrum more coarsely and 

 rucrosely, punctured, mesonotum under the pubescence very finely and 

 closely punctured, abdomen impunctate ; clypeus sub-porrect, its 

 anterior margin transverse ; cheeks between lower margin of eyes and 

 mandibles narrow but distinct ; antennae with the 2nd joint of flagellum 

 longer than the three following united. Black ; colour of pubescence as 

 follows: — On head above grey, below white; on thorax above fulvous, 

 fulvous grey, or grey, below grey ; 1st abdominal segment with long 

 greyish or fulvous pubescence, and a narrow ciliated band of lighter 

 grey ; 2 — 1th segments with short black pubescence at base, sometimes 

 intermixed with grey hairs, their apices ciliated with bands of greyish 

 pubescence, which sometimes inclines to pale fulvous ; 5th segment in 

 the centre black, with long white lateral hairs ; all the ventral segments
