as its width at base; first three segments sparsely finely punctured, seg- 

 ments 4-6 with punctures closer and somewhat coarser; second ventral 

 with a transverse ridge the medial portion of which is triangularly 

 elevated. 



Described from one specimen from Redlands, Calif. F. R. 

 Cole, collector. 



Type: Cat, No. 20402, U. S. N. M. 



This species has the apical segments of the abdomen shaped 

 about as in uvulalis, producta and pilosifrons,- all of which are 

 much larger and more robust; uvulalis and producta have a great 

 projection in the second ventral segment.

Female. Length about 7 mm. Head and thorax black, abdomen with 

 the three basal segments rufous, the following ones dark brown, segment

 somewhat larger and more scattered; the following parts yellow; dog's ear 

 marks, supraclypeal area but this so deeply indented above as to make it 

 almost two triangular marks, a median mark on clypeus not reaching apical
