BEES IN BRITISH MUSEUM. 321 



peculiar, a large quadrate yellow patch on each side, a smaller elon- 

 gate quadrate yellow patch below each antenna, and a pyriform 

 yellow patch (about the size of those below the antennae) below 

 each of the large patches; scutellura with a pyriform yellow spot 

 on each side; postscutellum with a yellow band; abdomen with 

 five broad yellow bands. 



LAGOBATA Smith. 

 Lagobata diligens Smith. 



Very peculiar; abdomen narrow, with a subtruncate base — rather 

 carrot-shaped ; hind spur with a comb of very numerous and closely 

 placed long teeth. 



CAL.LIOPSIS Smith. 

 C'alliopsis maculatiis Sm. 9 (T.). 



This is a genuine Calliopsis ; it has been erroneously referred to 

 Spinoliella. The depressed apical margins of the abdominal seg- 

 ments are testaceous. The face markings are rather complicated ; 

 the sides of the clypeus are yellow, and there is a small yellow 

 streak on each side adjacent to clypeus ; the yellow supraclypeal 

 mark is broad and rounded above, and there is a triangular yellow 

 mark below each antenna, one side of it contiguous with the clypeus. 



< alliopsiN llavB Irons Sm. 9. 



This was described from a male with a yellow face ; instead of 

 this, I find the type label on a female, the face-marks of which are 

 white, with only the faintest yellow tint. These marks consist of 

 a narrow stripe down the middle of the clypeus ; a large supracly- 

 peal mark, broadly rounded above; and large lateral marks, much 

 longer than broad. It may be that this is the true female of fiavi- 

 frons. 



MAC'ROTERA Smith. 

 Macrotera bicolor Sm. (T.). 



Tongue linear, extremely long, longer than thorax ; clypeus shin- 

 ing, with irregular large punctures; marginal cell broadly but 

 obliquely truncate ; b. n. falling far short of t. m. ; extremely long, 

 curved, simple hairs on hind tibia; abdomen dullish, with anal fim- 

 bria fulvous.
