  I 
  f 
  Bingham's 
  fig. 
  127 
  {I.e., 
  p. 
  408) 
  represents 
  the 
  labium 
  of 
  

   C. 
  dudgeonii, 
  then 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  here 
  described 
  differs 
  

   from 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  labium 
  being 
  much 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  mentum, 
  

   and 
  more 
  widely 
  and 
  deeply 
  divided 
  at 
  the 
  apex. 
  The 
  

   same 
  remark 
  applies 
  to 
  Smith's 
  figure 
  {Cat. 
  Hyin. 
  Ins., 
  i., 
  

   pi. 
  1., 
  f. 
  1). 
  Bingham 
  makes 
  no 
  mention 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wings 
  

   having 
  an 
  appendicular 
  cellule, 
  nor 
  is 
  one 
  indicated 
  in 
  his 
  

   figure. 
  In 
  C. 
  dentata 
  the 
  appendicular 
  cellule 
  is 
  quite 
  

   distinct, 
  but 
  open 
  at 
  the 
  apex. 
  The 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  are 
  

   not 
  very 
  pubescent 
  for 
  a 
  Colletes, 
  but 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  through 
  

   wear 
  and 
  tear. 
  The 
  wings 
  vary 
  in 
  tint.

  In

  {I.e.,

  it

  Abdomen 
  impunctate," 
  which 
  contains 
  two 
  

   species 
  ; 
  — 
  H. 
  timidits, 
  which 
  differs 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  abdomen 
  

   and 
  legs 
  rufo-testaceous, 
  and 
  the 
  Burmese 
  H. 
  gutturosus, 
  

   which 
  differs 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  eyes 
  only 
  very 
  slightly 
  con- 
  

   vergent 
  below; 
  while 
  here 
  they 
  are 
  very 
  distinctly 
  conver- 
  

   gent 
  below 
  ; 
  the 
  pubescence 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  is 
  

   "thin;" 
  here 
  it 
  is 
  dense 
  and 
  long. 
  

  

  Head 
  closely 
  and 
  distinctly 
  punctured 
  in 
  front 
  ; 
  the 
  

   clypeus 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  depressed, 
  white 
  pubescence 
  ; 
  

   the 
  front, 
  vertex, 
  and 
  hinder 
  parts 
  with 
  the 
  hair 
  longer, 
  more 
  

   erect, 
  and 
  not 
  quite 
  so 
  dense 
  ; 
  eyes 
  distinctly 
  converging 
  

   on 
  the 
  lower 
  side, 
  the 
  space 
  separating 
  them 
  there 
  beino- 
  

   about 
  half 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  vertex 
  ; 
  they 
  have 
  a 
  distinct 
  

   curve 
  near 
  the 
  top 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  side. 
  The 
  face, 
  below 
  the 
  

   antennae 
  in 
  the 
  centre, 
  projects 
  ; 
  the 
  projection 
  being 
  wider 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  clearly 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  clypeus, 
  

   which 
  is 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  its 
  base 
  and
