the densely punctured surface not at all concealed, the apical keel 
prominent, shallowly emarginate, with one or two irregular dentiform 
projections ; no ventral armature. 
In Schrottky’s table (‘ Rev. Mus. Paulista,’ 1913, p. 146). 
This runs exactly to 33, but differs from M. parsonsie in colour 
of pubescence and character of anterior legs. Being intermediate 
between the two groups based on the tarsi, it may be compared 
with M. interjecta, Vachal, but it differs in many details. It is 
entirely distinct from M. brasiliensis, D. T. (denticulata, Sm.), the 
next species to be compared, following Schrottky’s table. I 
thought it might be the male of M. squalens, which it much 
resembles, but the venation differs, and according to Schrottky 
the anterior tarsi of squalens are black and ordinary. However, 
Schrottky’s description of male squalens is a translation of 
Vachal’s of M. pleuralis, which is supposed to be asynonym. It 
is possible that there are several allied species, only readily 
separable by the character of the males. 
Among other bees lately received from the British Museum 
are Panurginus atriceps, Cress., Andrena kincaidii, Ckll., and 4. 
salicifloris, Ckll., all collected by Miss Ricardo at Vernon, British 
Columbia, the first two in June, the last on April 17th. Also 
Andrena hirticincta, Prov., from New York, and A. nubecula, 8m., 
from New Jersey, both collected by H. Edwards.

Pericyma basalis, sp. n. 
6. Fore wings brown, freckled with darker on costa, area 
between base and antemedial line darker; antemedial line black, 
angled below cell; postmedial line black, indented at vein 5, sinuous 
thence to dorsum ; terminal area mottled with darker chiefly towards 
costa, traversed by two zigzag dark lines; discoidal lunule black with 
dusky and whitish scales around it; subterminal line blackish, den- 
tate; fringes rather paler, whitish line at base. Hind wings brown, 
faintly striated with darker; subterminal line black, oblique from 
termen near costa to dorsum just before tornus, preceded and followed 
by brownish lines; terminal line black, lunular; fringes as on fore 
wings. Under side pale grey-brown freckled and powdered with 
darker brown; a dusky postmedial line on fore wings, almost 
parallel with termen; a black discoidal dot and traces of a dusky
