﻿BEES FROM THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 109 



Hah. Male (= type), Iligan, Mindanao (Baker, 3150) ; 

 female, Dapitan, Mindanao (Baker, 3151). It is not im- 

 probable that the female represents a distinct race, or closely 

 allied species. The species is readily known from the other 

 Philippine forms by the colour and character of its ornaments. 

 The nearest relative is probably C. siimatmjia, Enderl., from 

 Soekaranda, Sumatra. 



Coelioxys dapitanensis, n. sp. 



(? . Length a little over 6 mm. ; black, with the knees, tarsi, 

 subapical band on mandibles, and tegulae, dull ferruginous, the tarsi 

 more brightly coloured than the other parts ; hair of eyes short and 

 brown ; face, sides of front, and cheeks with pale fulvous hair ; 

 antennte black ; sides of vertex dull, with scattered very large 

 shining punctures ; mesothorax dull, with large, well-separated 

 shining punctures, sides of disc more or less longitudinally ridged ; 

 scutellum sharp-edged, axillar teeth short ; extreme base of area of 

 metathorax finely rugose ; thoracic ornaments pale fulvous, formed 

 nearly as in C. bakeri, but the scutellar band is nearly or quite 

 divided in the middle, and there is no longitudinal stripe behind it ; 

 there is also a large bare space in the middle of the pleura ; wings 

 brownish, b. n. falhng short of t. m., first r. n. joining extreme basal 

 corner of second s. m. ; abdomen shining, with large punctures, the 

 narrow entire bands dull pale fulvous ; quite long spines at sides of 

 fifth and sixth segments ; apex with only four spines, the lower very 

 long, slender, divergent ; first ventral segment dull red. 



Hah. Dapitan, Mindanao (Baker, 3152). Eeadily known 

 from other Philippine species by the small size and the apical 

 armature of abdomen. The apical armature resembles that of 

 the Australian C. froggatti, Ckll., except that C. dapitanensis has 

 the lower spines much longer. 



Ceratina tropica, Crauford. 

 Dapitan, Mindanao (Baker, 3130, 3132). 



Ceratina philippinensis, Asbmead. 



Cuernos Mountains, Negros (Baker, 3131). 



Professor Baker also sends two species new to the Philippines, 

 which he collected at Los Banos, namely C. beata, Cam., and 

 C. dentipes Friese, both determined by Friese. The first of 

 these has been known from Ceylon and Burma, the second 

 from Java. 



Allodape inindanaonis, n. sp. 



?. Length about 7-5 mm.; like A. marginata, Sm., but pale 

 yellow area of clypeus confined to the upper end and a median 

 longitudinal band ; tubercles yellow, but no line on prothorax ; 

 second submarginal cell longer ; basitarsi black, with red hair. 



Var. a. Only 6 mm. long, but apparently the same species. 



Hah. Dapitan, Mindanao (Baker, 3164, 3163). The small
