Andrena zeta. 



A species which closely resembles nana of Kirby in the punctura- 

 tion of the abdomen. I thought at one time it might prove to be 

 abstersa, Per., but it has not got an unusually convex abdomen 

 neither is the appendix of the lalirum unusually small as described 

 by that author. 



f^ . With the hairs of the face and vertex pale, clypeus shining and 

 largely punctured, 2ud joint of the Ilagellum rather longer than the 

 4th, 3rd slightly shorter than the 4th, the rest subquadrate, mesono- 

 tum rugulose, finely punctured, propcxleal area very finely reticulate, 

 abdomen shining, finely rugulose, with fine punctures among the 

 rugulosities, the impressions deep, discoloured, and smoother than 

 the rest of the segment, lateral fringes white. 



9 . With the clypeus less shining than in the (J , finely rugulose 

 and largely punctured, mesonotum ^finely rugulose and finely 

 punctured, abdomen slightly shining and rather closely but finely
