 Mallophora clausicella Macq., n. var., intermedia. Colorado, Buffalo, Platte

 The specimens appear to be intermediate forms between clausicella Macq. 

 and megachile Coq. One specimen has first posterior cell of wing 

 slightly open, but the pile of thorax is black; only one out of three 

 specimens is destitute of black pile on thorax. Length of body ranges 

 from 13 to 15 mm., which measurement is about the same as for clausi- 

 cella, but above that given for megachile. The antennal style is as 

 long as with megachile.

 June, four females, one male. — Colorado, Colorado Springs; August, 

 one male. Types in the collection of the University of Kansas. New 

 variety for Kansas list. 

 These specimens merely differ from typical annulipes Macq. in the col- 

 oration of all the femora, the posterior surface being entirely red, ex- 

 cept on the hind pair, where the red is narrowed to a streak. 

 Tolmerus mesas, new species. Colorado, Colorado Springs; August, collected 

 on mesa and foot-hills in vicinity of the city. Types: Two males and 

 three females taken in 1894, and one female captured during the sum-
