206 Mr. T. D. A. Cockere!l—Deseriptions and 
and of middle and hind tibiz; hind tibial scopa long, bright 
ferruginous on inner side; hind tibial spurs ferruginous, 
very long and straight, reaching considerably beyond middle | 
of basitarsi; abdomen shining, with very weak scattered 
punctures ; no covering of long hair as in P. heterodoxa, but 
hind margins of first four segments with rather thin pale 
ochreous-tinted hair-bands, weak on first; apex with black 
hair, not forming a large tuft. Claws simple, and pulvillus 
very large. (In ‘the male P. heterodoza the claws are cleft.)

Friese states that the female P. capensis looks extremely 
like Andrena symphyti, Pérez. The present insect could 
easily be taken, on superficial examination, for A. flavipes, 
Panz (fulvicrus, Kirby). Whether it is really a Polyglossa, 
or congeneric with P. heterodoxa, may well be doubted, but 
if a new genus is to be defined, it should be based on more 
ample materials. 
Lithurgus atratiformis, Cockerell.

Two females, which I cannot distinguish from the 
Australian ZL. atraliformis. Presumably the species has 
been introduced from Australia. 
Lithurgus patruelis, sp. n. 
6 .—Length about 9°5 mm., anterior wing 7°3 mm. 
Similar to L. capensis, Friese, but differing thus: eyes 
pale grey; the abundant long hair of face white, and that of 
vertex creamy (in capensis the hair of front and upper part 
of face, and of vertex, is reddish fulvous); third antennal 
joint shorter and broader; hair of sides of thorax entirely 
white, and of dorsum only feebly tinted with ochreous; 
tegulz pale testaceous (black or nearly in capensis). Wings 
more strongly reddened; second s.m. broader above, its side 
on marginal greater than its side on first s.m, (the reverse 
is true of capensis); hind spurs cream-colour (ferruginous 
in capensis) ; hair on under side of abdomen clear white.
