NOMADA, sp. 



This $ is allied to rhenana, it has the labrum red with a small 

 central tubercle, the 2nd and 3rd joints of the flagellum subequal 

 and the apex of the hind tibia? with 5 rather unequal sharp ])ale 

 spines. As I have only seen this single female which has no very 

 pronounced characteristics I refrain from describing it.
