Andretia moestn. Smith 
A Corvallis, (Oregon, specimen regarded as nwesta was sent by Mr. Viereck. 
Compared with the type, I found the following resemblances and differences : 
tvpe has outer margin of third submarginal cell much more curved, and a light 
amber stigma (stigma is dark brown in the Corvallis species) : both have the 
same black facial fovea, the same pubescence, etc., and the abdomen is the same 
in both ; type has fourth and base of fifth antennal joints reddish beneath, but 
this is not very conspicuous; tegulae of type are distincly reddish behind. 
The male type of moes/a has long and falcate mandibles, without any tooth 
beneath or at base; cheeks produced to an angle behind. 
The Corvallis insect probably should stand as a subspecies. It is recorded by 
Viereck in Canad. F.ntom. 1904 , p. 224 . 
Andrcna ( Tnuhaudrcna) mira7ida. Smith 
The type, compared with a supposed 7nii-anda sent by Mr. Viereck, differed 
thus: — Ridges of metathoracic enclosure stronger, the surface more shining 
between; scutellum more densely (though irregularly) punctured, and the punc- 
tures larger: when the thorax is viewed from above, the hair, of tubercles, etc. in 
front of the wings, is seen to be strongly yellowish ; facial foveae inclining to 
yellowish grey ; an extremely narrow line between facial foveae and eye ( a narrow 
but much broader area in the supjiosed /77i7'<77ida)\ punctures of clypeus apparently 
rather larger; third submarginal cell much more narrowed above, narrower above 
than second. The type has the tibiae and tarsi dark red ; it has 7/ot the margins 
of the abdominal segments testaceous, or it would seem to run to cla\t077iae in 
Robertson’s tables. 
Smith’s male mi/-i77/da appears to run in Robertson’s tables to ///a/'iiie, or it 
might be held to run to clayto7iiae. The abdomen is more or less reddish-brown. 
By the lighter stigma, much less strongly punctured abtlomen, etc. it appears not 
to belong to the same species as the 9 type. 
A7id/-C7ia fasf/iosa. Smith 
9 The type is very like A. i77Xt’7/r(>7//s, Ckll. ; it differs by having more black 
on abdomen, only the second segment being entirely' red, or more red than 
black. The process of labrum is narrower ; apex of wings not so dark ; first 
abdominal segment broader. A. <77Xf77i(77/is is an idiomorph of ftisl/tosa.
