Andren^a zeta. 



A species which closely resembles nana of Kirl)y in the punctura-

 largely punctured, 2nd joint of the flagellum rather longer than the 

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

 tum rugulose, finely punctured, propodeal 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.

 and largely punctured, mesonotum ^finely rugulose and finely 

 punctured, abdomen slightly shining and rather closely but finely
