and in the glossa it is the same as Robertson's Anthophoroidea, 

 in other characters like that of his Andrenoidea. 



Panurgomia fuchsi, new species. 



Female 10 mm. long. 



Head with the ocular distance slightly greater than the occipito- 

 clypeal distance, cheeks rounded, somewhat trapezoidal in outline, as 

 viewed from the side, malar space practically wanting, ocelli forming 

 a slightly arcuate row, the lateral ocelli seemingly a little nearer to 

 each other than to the nearest eye margin; the third joint of the 

 antennae somewhat shorter than the next two joints combined; beyond 

 the first joint of the flagel, the joints are subequal in length, ranging 

 from slightly wider than long to slightly longer than wide, except the 

 apical joint, which is about one and one-half times as long as the joint 

 preceding the same ; mandibles simple, except for a rounded tooth 

 on the inner margin about halfway between the middle and the apex 

 of the mandible; clypeus smooth and shining, with a few scattered 

 punctures ; labrum round and shining, front and cheeks mostly shining 

 and sparsely punctured. Thorax with the dorsum shining and covered 

 with short felt-like hair, excepting the postscutel, which is dull and 

 provided with long hairs, and the metanotum, which is mostly dull and 

 bare, being finely granular ; posterior tibia and third metatarsus pro- 

 vided with a scopa composed of stiff, simple hairs, most of which are 

 distinctly longer than the widest part of the posterior tibia. Abdomen 

 very closely punctured, or rather indistinctly so, and shining, the dorsal 

 segments indistinctly suppressed, the second dorsal segment being 

 depressed one-fourth the distance from the apex, or less than one- 

 fourth ; pygidium dull, indistinctly sculptured and spatulate in outline. 

 Tegument mostly black, greater part of flagel brown, most of the 

 mandibles and mouth parts castaneous ; tegulae, costa, and stigma testa- 

 ceous, rest of the veins translucent brownish ; tarsi, and stigma testa- 

 ceous, rest of the veins translucent brownish; tarsi more or less dark 

 brown, the apex of the first, second, and third dorsal-abdominal seg- 

 ments yellowish, preceded by a black band which in turn is preceded by 

 a reddish-brown band; the depressed portion of the fourth dorsal seg- 

 ment and the apical half of the fifth dorsal segment more or less pale. 

 Pubescence ochreous, sort of brownish on the dorsulum. 



Type locality, Prescott, Ariz. 



One specimen, collected by Mr. Fuchs. 



DOLICHOCHILE, new genus. 



T\pc Dolichochile melittoides new species. 



Female 10 mm. long, head somewhat wider than long, that is, with the 

 ocular distance greater than the occipito-clypeal distance. Superficially 

 exactly like Melitta americana in color and sculpture, except that the
