 2 Differs from iiinnarf/inat us in having tergites !-?> with 

 fine white apical hair l)ands. 



$ The male has the scape not expanded aliove. 



Hylaeus (Deranchylaeus) gabonicus (Vachal). 



Prosopis gabonica Vachal.

 Op. at. 72 :400 S W. Afr. 1903. 

 The description of the female is not entirely adequate ; the 

 basolateral areas of the propodeum are said to be discrete from 

 the declivity "yix modico jugo" and the wings infuscate, other- 

 wise the species wonld seem to resemble hequaertianiis rather 

 closely. 



The male is described as having the apex only of the 

 clypeus yellow. 



Hylaeus (Deranchylaeus) Gaulle! (Vachal). 



I'rosopis GauUei Vachal. 



Ann. Soc. Ent. France i\S:r^:M; 9 W. Afr. 1899. 



Differs from Dregel by having two long sulcnli on the cly- 

 pens and the metanotnm with two minnte tubercles. 



Hylaeus (Deranchylaeus) Haygoodi n. sp. 



Dregci, Haygoodi, and Lightfooti form a closel.v related group to 

 which probably Gaulici also belongs in which the anterior portion of the 

 clypeus is impressed, the first tergite is strongly punctate and the second 

 more finely so, the first tergite has white apical lateral hair patches and 

 tlie second more feeble ones. The basal area of the propodeum is ver- 

 miculate rugose in Dregci and Haygoodi and more feebly reticulate in 

 LIglitfooti, in no case strongly defined, the basolateral areas which are 

 not discrete are strongly punctured. In Haygoodi the punctures of the 

 1st and 2nd tergites are stronger and coarser, and less different on the 

 two segments than in tlic other species. Otherwise I have nothing to 

 add to the characters given in the table. 



Described from i $ collected at Cape Town, Jan. -Apr. 1915 (Brid- 

 wcll').
