Bees belonging to the genus Nomia of Latreille. 55 
nervures rufo-testaceous; the tegule testaceous, palest at 
their outer margins. Abdomen: very closely and finely 
punctured; a pale-fulvous fascia on the apical margins 
of all the segments. 
Hab.—India. 
In the unique example of this species the fascia of the 
basal segment only remains at the sides; it is most 
probably abraded in the middle.
