HALICTUS HOLLANDI, sp. nov, 
H. minutissimo affinis, facie longiore, mesonoto minus dense 
punctato nitidiore, antice linea longitudinali breviore minus fortiter 
impressa, abdominis segmento basali punctato, distinguendus. 
¢@ black, apex of elypeus, labrum and mandibles flavous, antenne 
beneath, tegulee and the base of the tibia pale, tarsi more or less 
piceous, head rather shining, strongly punctured, face rather elongate, 
clothed with white pubescence, clypeus scarcely produced, antenne 
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 callous 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 Ist and 2nd segments very deeply impressed, making 
the segments very convex, in this respect much resembling minu- 
tissimus. Puncturation fine and even on the Ist 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. 
 sub-elongate and very like minutissimus in general shape, 
entirely black, sparingly clothed with white hairs, face rather 
elongate, more or less approaching the form of punctatissimus, ete., 
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, ete., 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. 4-45 m.m.
