50 Mr. F. Smith’s descriptions of new species 
Celioxys confusus. 
Female.—Length 4—5 lines. Black: the head and 
thorax strongly and closely punctured, the abdomen much 
more finely and less closely so, the apical segment smooth, 
the sides punctured towards the apex; the wings fuscous 
beyond the first submarginal cell, their basal portion 
hyaline; the face and also the cheeks covered with white 
pubescence; the thorax at the side and beneath and also 
the legs have a fine, thin, white pubescence; a short rather 
blunt tooth at each lateral angle of the seutellum ; a 
narrow white marginal fascia on the margins of the 
seements of the abdomen ; ; it is slightly widened at their 
sides. The apex of the apical segment acute; the lower 
valve of the segment is also acute and extends a little 
beyond the upper valve, which has a central carina, that 
runs from the apex half-w ay towards the base. 
This species, although distinct from, is very like 
C. fuscipennis, also from. India, but its apical segment is 
very much narrower. In C. fuscipennis it is somewhat 
spoon-shaped. 
Nomada adusta, 
Female.—Length 3 lines. Ferruginous, with black 
and yellow markings; wings hyaline, the anterior pair 
fuscous at their tips. Head: the clypeus and face, as high 
as the insertion of the antenn, yellow. Thorax: the 
scutellum, post-scutellum, the tubercles and collar yellow. 
Abdomen: a black spot on each side of the basal segment, 
its apical margin fusco-ferruginous; the second segment 
with a broad, sub-interrupted, yellow fascia at its basal 
margin; the rest of the segment, as well as the following 
segments, dark rufo-piceous; the third segment has a 
yellow fascia on its apical margin; the following segment 
has two large united yellow macule; the apical segment 
covered with silvery-white pubescence. 
The male resembles the female, but its general colouring 
is darker, the thorax being black with ferruginous stains ; : 
the antennze dark fuscous above. 
Anthidium rasorium.
