Halictus hollandi, sp. nov. 



H. minutissimo affinis, facie longiore, mesonoto minus dense 

 punctate nitidiore, antice linea longitudinali breviore minus fortiter 

 impressa, abdominis segmento basali punctato, distinguendus. 



^ black, apex of clypeus, labrum and mandibles flavous, antennae 

 beneath, tegulse and the base of the tibiae pale, tarsi more or less 

 piceous, head rather shining, strongly punctured, face rather elongate, 

 clothed with white pubescence, clypeus scarcely produced, antennae 

 somewhat thick, the joints slightly swollen. Mesonotum shining, 

 seen under a strong lens to be microscopically rugulose, not closely 

 but distinctly and rather finely punctured, propodeum rounded 

 posteriorly its brow rather c.illous and shining, basal area impressed 

 and irregularly and longitudinally rugose, wings hyaline, nervures 

 brown, legs clothed with white hairs ; abdomen shining, sparingly 

 clothed, especially at the sides and apex, with short white hairs. 

 Apices of the 1st and 2nd segments very deeply impressed, making 

 the segments very convex, in this respect much resembling minu- 

 tissimns. Puncturation fine and even on the 1st and 2nd, more 

 confused and irregular on the rest of the segments, there is a slight 

 trace of a white pubescent basal band on the 2nd. 



5 sub-elongate and very like minutissimK.s in general shape, 

 entirely black, sparingly clothed with white hairs, face rather 

 elongate, more or less approaching the form of pundatissim'iis, etc., 

 face dull very closely punctured, vertex shining and less closely 

 so, clypeus largely punctured, but scarcely shining, mesonotum 

 shining, with a distinct and well-defined puncturation on a finely 

 rugulose surface, a well-marked central impression in front, pro- 

 podeum, etc., as in the ^ , legs clothed with long white hairs, abdo- 

 men with the apices of the segments paler, basal segment very 

 shining, finely and remotely punctured, the rest duller and closely 

 so, 2nd segment with a very slight indication of a lateral white 

 pubescent spot at the base. 



Long. 4-4^ m.m.
