New American Bees of the Genus Halictus (Hym.). 

 By MRS. MARION DURBIN ELLIS, Boulder, Colorado. 



The following new species of bees belonging to the sub- 

 genus Chloralictus Robertson were described in the zoological 

 laboratory of the University of Colorado. The material and 

 types are in the collection of Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, except 

 where otherwise stated. I wish to thank Prof. Cockerell for 

 his direction in this work and for comparing some bees with 

 types in the National Museum. 



Halictus zophops sp. nov. 



9 Length 6.7 mm. Head and thorax dark green; abdomen black 

 with metallic green reflections. 



Facial quadrangle a little longer than broad, clypeus produced for 

 about two-thirds its length beyond the eyes. Face very closely and 

 rather coarsely punctured above the antennae, less so on the lateral 

 areas and supraclypeal area; clypeus mostly black, somewhat shiny, 

 and very little punctured. Antennae entirely black.
