114 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell—Descriptions and 
dense circular fringe of hair, mainly black, but white apically, 
the hairs longest on posterior side ; apical joint of middle 
tarsi simple, except for a thin outstanding tuft of hair on 
one side ; hind femora and tibiz with brown-black hair, but 
the basitarsi with a very conspicuous tuft of pure white hair 
at end, and the three middle tarsal joints with white hair ; 
hind basitarsi not toothed; first two segments of abdomen 
with long hair like that on thorax above; the others with 
long erect black hair, but some white hair laterally. 
The specimen described is from Tunis (Le Moult, Queens- 
Jand Museum). 
A male from Bone, Algeria, differs conspicuously in that 
the apical yellow band of clypeus is very broad, reaching the 
lateral face-marks, and forming a right-angle with the 
vertical clypeal mark. One from Tangier, Marocco, is more 
like the Tunis example. It would be difficult to recognise 
this insect from the brief account of the male in Friese’s 
‘ Apidee Europe,’ and in his table it seems to run nearest 
to A. balearica, Friese. I therefore give a new description. 
Lepeletier gave the localities as Oran and the Canary Is. 
Oran must be considered the type-locality ; the Canary Is. 
material was doubtless A. alluaudi, Pérez. 
Anthophora nigrocincta, Lepeletier. 
Anthophora robusta, Klug. 
Both from Ras-el-Ma, Algeria. (Queensland Museum.) 
A Tetralonia rujficollis, Brullé, comes from the same 
locality, and a 7. lucasi, Gribodo, from Tunis. 
Anthophora disrupta, sp. n. 
? —Length about 17 mm. 
Like A. atrocincta, Lep., except that the appressed rufo- 
fulvous pile of the abdomen covers all of the second segment 
except the extreme base, the pale markings of the head are 
yellower, the vertical band on clypeus is narrow (not wedge- 
shaped), and the clypeus is not so high. It may deserve to 
rank only as a subspecies. 
Olokemeji, Ibadan, Nigeria (from Le Moult). Received 
from Queensland Museum. 
Crocisa interrupta, Vachal, comes from the same locality. 
Also from this locality are four species of Trigona, separable 
thus :— 
Extremely minute, length hardly over 2 mm. ; 
face without yellow or white markings... 7’. gribodoi, Magy. 
Considerably larger i
