ANDRENOPSIS n. _ 



Form Andrena like, but with only two submarginal cells, the 

 second (morphologically second and third) larger than the first, 

 and receiving the first recurrent nervure a considerable distance 

 from its beginning, and the second a less, but not small, distance 

 from its end ; basal nervure meeting transverso-medial, which is 

 very oblique ; marginal cell long, obliquely truncate at apex ; stigma 

 small but distinct; clypeus and supraciypeal area of male yellow; 

 mandibles bidentate ; body hairy ; hind spur of hind tibia curved, 

 finger like ; middle and (especially) hind tarsi with joints two to four 

 produced behind ; area of metathorax triangular. The specimen 

 was softened, to extract the mouth-parts, but they did not come 

 readily, and I desisted, for fear of injuring the unique type. Pre-
