welt-like space between it and the eye margin, process of labrum 

 triangularly emarginate, clypeus smooth and distinctly punctured, with 

 an inconspicuous median impunctate space, third joint of antennae as long 

 as fourth plus fifth plus sixth ; dorsulum dull, middle metatarsus nearly 

 as broad as the middle tibia, hind tibia dark, its scopa dense enough to 

 obscure the tegument beneath, most of the scopal hairs branched ; abdo- 

 men with the depression of the dorsal segments indistinct and extending 

 from the apical margin toward the base less than one-half the length 

 of the segment ; tesrument black, pubescence cinereous, anal fimhria dull 

 golden, foveal pubescence tinged with yellowish in much the same way 

 as the pubescence on the dorsum of the insect, wings hyaline, subcostal 

 vein blackish, rest of the veins more or less brownish. 



Male, 9 mm. Tegument of face black, its sculpture partly concealed 

 by pubescence, cheeks rounded, third joint of antennae a little longer 

 than the next two joints combined; otherwise this sex is sufficiently 

 like its mate to be readily associated. 



Type No. 10034. IT. S. National Museum. 



Type locality, Dallas, Tex., May 2, 6, 1905, on Sitilias grandi- 

 flura (Hunter Nos. 105, 265, collected by F. C. Bishopp and 

 W. D. Pierce") ; ten male paratODOtyoes April 28 to May 7, 

 1905, May 8, 9, 1906 (Hunter Nos." 100, 105, 265, on Sitilias 

 grandiflora, W. D. Pierce and F. C. Bishopp), also on the same 

 flower by C. R. [ones and F. C. Pratt ; nine female paratopo- 

 types on Sitilias' grandiflora, May 6, 7, 29, 1905, May 8, 1906 

 (Hunter Nos. 233, 265, F. C. Bishopp and C. R. Jones) ; also 

 W. E. Hinds. These paratopotypes are all very true to the type. 

 One male and three female paratypes respectively from New 

 Braunfels, Cotulla (on Coreopsis palmata at the latter place), 

 (J. C. Crawford), Corpus Christi (on Sitilias grand-flora} 

 (F. C. Pratt) and Fedor, Lee County (Birkmann), all differ 

 somewhat from the type, e. g., in the labrum of the females, 

 excepting the Fedor specimen, being more truncate than emar- 

 ginate and in the clypeus in the same specimens being rather 

 more granular between the punctures and in the other or Fedor 

 specimen having a rather flattened abdomen and in the male 

 being somewhat larger. 



Andrena sitilise, new species. 



Female, 13 mm. The size, more ochreous pubescence, yellow tibial 

 scopa and more yellow anal fimbria will serve to distinguish this from 

 A. crawfordi, with which it agrees in other respects ; apical edge of 

 dorsal abdominal segments pale. 



Type Female, No. 10033, U. S. National Museum. 



Type locality, Cotulla, Tex., May 12, 1906, on Coreopsis 

 tinctoriaf (J. C. Crawford) ; paratype, Dallas, Tex., on Sitilias 

 grandiflora (stylopized specimen), (J. C. Crawford).
