Records of Bees. 205 



Abdomen black, the hind margins of the segments con- 

 colorous ; basal half of first segment with pale oehreous hair ; 

 segments 2 and 3 with very broad, entire, felt-like basal hair- 

 bands, so broad as to reach hind margin at extreme sides ; 

 fourth segment covered with such white hair except at sides 

 of base narrowly, but the actual margin fringed with pale 

 reddish ; fifth and sixth with rusty-black hair. 



Chapra, India (Mackenzie : Fletcher, no. 17). 



Very distinct from the species known to me. Nurse has 

 described two species of Tetralonia with clypeus yellow in 

 female ; the palpi have not been examined, so they may be 

 referable to Tetraloniella. T. chaprensis differs from T.phryne 

 (Nurse) by the bands on the abdomen being neither narrowed 

 nor interrupted ; and from T. Cassandra (Nurse) by the lack 

 of apical hair-bands on abdominal segments 2 and 3. 



Tetralonia punctilabr i s , Cameron.

 {Fletcher, 31). 



This agrees with Cameron's description, except that the 

 third abscissa of the radius is practically equal with the 

 second, and Cameron says nothing about the hind margin of 

 the first abdominal segment being broadly testaceous. Pre- 

 sumably it is the same species. It is related to T. tricincta 

 (Erichs.). 



Tetralonia pachysoma, n. u. 



Habropoda lata, Cameron, Rec. Albany Mus. 190o, p. 200 (not T. lata, 

 Provancher, 1888). 



Dr. Brauns has examined Cameron's type, and finds it to 

 be a Tetralonia allied to T. braimsiana, Friese. 



Tetralonia leucopoda australior, subsp. n. 



<$ . — Hair on last two abdominal segments dark chocolate, 

 instead of fawn-colour. Eyes pale green, more or less suffused 

 with red. 



Bellaiy District, Hampasagar, India, Aug. 31, 1912

 Annampallee, Dee. 19-22 (T. V. R.). 



This is also very similar to T. phryne (Nurse) from Deesa, 

 of which T. glakricornis, Cam., also collected by Nurse at 

 Deesa, appears to be a synonym. Cameron describes glabri- 

 cornis as having the small joints of tarsi pale testaceous and 

 the first r. n. interstitial; in australior only the apical tarsal
