Anthophora spilostoma Cam. 

 1905 Podalirius spilostoma Cambron, ?, in: Tr. S.-Afr. Phil. Soc, Vol. XV, p. 254. 



?. Black ; the head and thorax densely covered with long cinereous hair, which takes a f ulvous hue on 

 the Upper parts; the basal four abdominal segments on the apex broadly banded with depressed pale fulvous 

 pubescence; clypeus black; the sides, apex, and a stripe in the centre, which becomes gradually wider towards 

 the apex, fulvo-testaceous, the labrum similarly coloured except for a black line at the base, this line being 

 dilated at the sides; on the apex of the face, in the centre, is a transverse line, which is dilated upwards in the 

 middle. Legs brownish, the tibiae and tarsi black in front; the hair dense and cinereous, on the tarsi behind 

 rufous. Wings short, hyaline, the nervures and stigma black. L. 10 mm. 



Front and vertex closely, irregularly punctured, the ocellar region and a broad stripe along the sides of 

 it smooth. Clypeus strongly and closely punctured, except along the central stripe where the punctuation is 

 sparse. Labrum closely and strongly punctured, its apex smooth, black and slighüy incised in the centre. 

 Metanotal area aciculated. The basal half of the abdominal segments thickly covered with short, black depressed 

 hair; the penultimate segment with a largc triangulär spot of black pubescence in the centre; the pygidial area 

 dark brown, minutely, closely punctured. Ventral surface closely punctured, with the apical third of the segments 

 brownish, the extreme apices lead-coloured. 



The pubescence on the abdomen is shorter and more depressed than it is in the other African species 

 known to me. The 2 large black marks on the clypeus are rounded and narrowed at the apex; tegulae piceous; 

 calcaria dark testaceous; 2. cubital cellule is much narrowed in front, not half its width behind, being the length 

 of the space bounded half the length of the third in front; 3. is narrower in front than behind, through the 3 

 transverse cubital nervure bending obliquely in front towards the base of the cellule.
