MELIPONA FASCIATA INDECISA, new subspecies. 



Like M. fasciata costaricensis, but abdomen wholly without tegu- 

 mentary bands. Very close to M. solum Cockerell, but differing by 

 the dark reddish to black hind femora, and flagellum ferruginous 

 beneath. It is, however, as near to solani as to costaricensis, being 

 intermediate between the two, and strongly suggesting the reference 

 of solani to fasciata as another race. Length, 10 mm. 



Lagunita de Aroa, Venuezela, 2,000 feet (M. A. Carriker). 



Type.— Csit No. 21680, U.S.N.M. 



ANTHOPHORA ZONATA (Linnaeus). 



Female. — Brisbane, Queensland, February 10, 1907. 



ANTHOPHORA AERUGINOSA Smith. 



Male. — Duaringa, Dawson district, Queensland; from W. F. H. 

 Rosenberg. 



ANTHOPHORA SCYMNA Gribodo. 



Male. — Waroona, Western Australia, February 15, 1909 (G. F, 

 Berthoud). This species was described from a female, but the male 

 before me appears to belong to it. The clypeus, broad supraclypeal 

 mark, lateral face marks filling space between clypeus and eyes, 

 labrum, base of mandibles, and scape in front are all bright chrome 

 yellow. The flagellum is black, with an imperfect red stripe beneath. 



ANTHOPHORA PULCHERRIMA Bingham. 



Female. — Pognor La, Rupshu, Ladak, 16,000 feet altitude, July 22 

 and 23, 1897 (W. L. Abbott). Bingham's description is rather in- 

 adequate, as he does not distinctly indicate the black hair on head 

 (except clypeal region and middle of vertex) and pleura. I have 

 the species from Khamba Jong, Sikkim (15), 16,000 feet altitude, 

 July (British Tibet Expedition). 



TETRALONIA FLORALIA Smith. 



Soochow, China, 5 males (N. Gist Gee, 127). A little smaller than 

 T. nipponensis (Perez), but verj^ closely allied. The third antennal 

 joint is much shorter than in 7\ chinensis. 



PROSOPIS ITAMUCA Cockerell. 



Female. — Brisbane, Queensland, December 23, 1904. 



PROSOPIS (NESOPROSOPIS) PUBESCENS (Perkins). 



Female. — ^Hilo, Hawaii, July (H. W. Henshaw). Agrees with one 

 from Perkins. There is also one from Olaa, Hawaii, July 18 (W. H. 

 Ashmead).
