100 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell — Descriptions and 



white hair; abdominal markings reduced to lateral patches, 

 those on first segment shaped like a boot, those on second 

 curved upward and broadly emarginate laterally (shaped like 

 a human mandible), the others broader than long. 



Coimbatore, S. India, the type Feb. 7, 1913 (T. V. R.) ; 

 another Jan. 1, 1913 (A. G. R.). 



In Friese's tables this runs to C. ramosa, but the scutellum 

 is quite different. 



Crocisa reducta, Cockerell. 



Described from Singapore, but the same species comes 

 from the Island of Penang {Baker). 



The posterior and lateral mesothoraic markings have 

 much the outline of the stem and bowl of a clay pipe. 



Crocisa crucifera, Cockerell. 

 Described from the Philippine Is., but I cannot separate 

 one from Sandakan, Borneo (Baker, 9966). 



Anthophora violacea, Lepeletier. 

 Parlakimedi, Nayaranapuram, Ganjam District, India, 

 May 1914 (Ramakrishna Ayyar). ? . 



Anthophora cingulifera, Cockerell. 

 Rockhill, 3500 ft., Coorg, Sidapur, April 1913 (T. V.R.). ? . 



Anthophora confusa, Smith. 

 Pulney Hills, S. India, May 1917 (P. S. Nathan). ? . 



Anthophora zonata (Linnaeus). 

 Rockhill, 3500 ft., Coorg, Sidapur, April 1913 (T. V.R.). ? . 



Ccelioxys apicata, Smith. 

 Coimbatore, India, January, May, October, November 

 (T. V. R., A. G. R.) ; Devanakonda, Kurnool District, 

 August (Ponniah). All females. 



Cozlioxys dormitans, Cockerell. 



Coimbatore, February, on wheat-ear (P. S.) ; Yemmi- 

 ganur, Bellary District, December (Ponniah). Females. 



The female of C. dormitans differs from that of C. apicata 

 in the venation, the first recurrent nervure meeting the first 

 transverso-cubital. In other respects they are so much alike 

 that one hesitates to regard them as distinct. The type of 

 C. apicata was a female from Northern India, in the Baly 

 collection. My knowledge of the venation (not mentioned 

 in Smith's description) comes from a female from "India/' 

 from F. Smith's collection. The group of species or races
