202 Albany Miispion Records. 



broadly i-iiuii<Ied, the middle slightly incised : it projects over the 

 metanotum. A})ical segment thickly covered with long silvery 

 hair. Metatarsus narrower than the tibiae. Clypeiis not very flat. 

 Hind ocelli separated from the eyes by a distinctly greater distance 

 than they are from each other. 



Anthidium euryaomum, sp. nov. 

 Black, the clypeus, the lower half of the inner orbits broadly 

 and mandililes except the teeth, pale yellow ; a spot on the outer 

 side of the basal two abdominal segments, uari-ow lines towards 

 the middle of the third and fourth, a lai-ge broader line, transverse 

 on the inner side, narrowed towards the outer, and a larger line on 

 the outer si<le of the 5th, lemon-yellow. Four front tarsi white ; 

 the fore til)ia3 anteriorly testaceous, their apex and that of the 

 middle pair pale testaceous, the apex of the hind tibiae also 

 testaceous. Wings fuscous-violaceous, with hyaline clouds : the 

 tegulfe black. Female. 



Length 7 ; breadth 3 mm, 

 Grahamstown. Misses Daly and Sole. 



Mandibles tridentate, the apical tooth long and curved, the 

 basal two shorter, broader and bluntly rounded. Apex of clypeus 

 transverse, its sides rounded. The clypeus and face covered with 

 long white hair ; the front with darker, the vertex and occiput 

 witii dark fulvoiis hair. The hair on the top of thorax dark 

 fulvous, on the pleura? white ; as is also the case with the haii- on 

 the ventral surface. Apex of last abdominal segment bluntly, 

 short!}' bidentate, the incision between the two shallow. Apex of 

 clypeus broadly rounded, projecting. Hair on legs long and clear 

 white : calcaria pale testaceous. The second recuri-ent nervure is 

 almost interstitial ; there is a white line on the apex of the 

 antennal scai)e below. Metatarsus narrower than tibise. The 2nd 

 abscissa of i-adius distinctly shorter than the 1st. 



This species agrees closely with A. crassidens, but can hardly 

 be its male, the structural difference between the two being too 

 great. The two may be separated thus : — 



Miiudibular teeth four, the apical not greatly longer and sharper than 

 the others ; apex of scutelliim with a slight but distinct incision in 

 the niiddl<> ; second abscissa of radius equal in length to the first 

 .crass idetis.
