A NEW BEE OF THE GENUS HABROPODA FROM 
ASSAM. 
By T. D. A. CockEeretu. 
WHEN collecting in Assam in September 1908, Mr. Rowland 
K. Turner obtained a very fine species of the genus Habropoda, 
which was recognized by the late Colonel Bingham as unde- 
scribed. The type, herewith described, will be Ieee in the 
collection of the British Museum. 
Habropoda turnert, n. sp. 
?. Length about 17 mm., anterior wing 11; robust, but with 
the abdomen much longer in proportion to its breadth than in 
H. zonatula, Sm.; black, with the pubescence of the head, and 
thorax above as far back as the level of the hind wings, black ; 
posterior to this, beginning abruptly, the pubescence is sulphur- 
yellow, and the same, very dense, covers the first two segments of 
the abdomen; the third segment has the hair short, dense and coal- 
black; the fourth and fifth have it reddish, more or less black at 
sides; there is a little pale tomentum at sides of face, and the lower 
part of the cheeks is covered with long white hair; a peculiar feature 
is a small patch of appressed white hair just above (a little mesad of) 
each antenna, surrounded on all sides by erect long black hair; the 
pleura is covered with long white hair; hair of legs mainly black, 
but some long white hair on anterior femora beneath ; brush at end 
of hind basitarsus orange-fulvous. Clypeus prominently densely 
punctured, but the punctures irregular and largely in grooves ; 
antennee black, third joint a little longer than 4+ 5; tegule black ; 
wings fuliginous, third s. m. broader than second; marginal cell 
long; hind tibize broad and flat, not produced at end, the scopa coarse 
and dense. 
Hab. Shillong, Assam. 
A very distinct species, not closely resembling any of the 
four (7H. montana, Rad., H. magrettii, Bingh., H. moelleri, 
Bingh., H. fulvipes, Cam.) known from India. There is a 
certain general resemblance to H. tarsata, but that has the hair 
of the thorax entirely orange-fulyvous above.
