  As 
  will 
  be 
  seen, 
  the 
  Andrenidas 
  are 
  almost 
  exclusively 
  

   confined 
  to 
  the 
  northern 
  parts, 
  and 
  more 
  particularly 
  to 
  

   the 
  mountainous 
  regions 
  of 
  India.

  one 
  species 
  of

  has 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  

   the 
  Indian 
  Peninsula 
  ; 
  but 
  several 
  are 
  known 
  from 
  the 
  

   Australian 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  Malay 
  Archipelago. 
  The 
  new 
  

   species 
  here 
  described 
  may 
  be
