Monographie der Bienengattungen Exomalopsis, Ptilothvix, Melitoma und Tetrapedia. 25g 



fast ganz, Analsegment wie der Bauch röthlich gefärbt. Beine einfarbig, schwarzbraun 

 behaart, Hintertibien keuhg verdickt, Sporen weiss. An den Fühlern ist das zweite 

 Geisselglied nur ^2 so lang als das dritte, alle Glieder ein wenig gebogen. 5^/2 Mm. lang. 



Exomalopsis globosa liegt mir in mehreren Exemplaren vom Mus. Berlin vor, 

 von denen das eine (9) Nr. 470 folgende Etiquette tragt: ■» Anthophora globosa ex Ind. 

 occid. sec. spec. Fabr. (Colsm.)«. Weitere Exemplare (Nr. 471) stammen von St. Thomas 

 und (Nr. 22542) von Portorico (Krug); i 9 im Mus. Wien von Columbia. 



Nach meinen Untersuchungen gehören pulchella, pubescens, penelope und viel- 

 leicht auch noch similis als Farbenvarietäten zu globosa F. Da mir vor Allem das 

 frische, tadellose Material fehlt und zum Theil nur ein Geschlecht bekannt ist, so ent- 

 halte ich mich vorläufig der Zusammenziehung, mehr Material abwartend!
