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



joint is red, and the first r. n. joins second s.m. an appreciable 

 distance from its apex. 



Tetralonia punjaubensis } Cameron. 



S — Lyallpur, Punjab, July 24, 1917 (G. R. Dutt: Flet- 

 cher, 21). 



This is evidently Cameron's species, but the hair of the 

 thorax is rich fulvous and the wing-nerviires are dusky 

 reddish, not black. The clypeus and labrum are polished, as 

 if oiled. 



Nomia aurifrons. Smith. 



I have a male from F. Smith's collection which does not 

 agree with Bingham's description, but Bingham knew only 

 the female. My specimen agrees with male aurifrons as 

 described by Westwood, who stated that it was his MS. 

 N. silhetica. It seems possible that the supposed sexes may 

 be distinct, in which case the name silhetica can be used for 

 the species before me. 



Nomia albofasciata, Smith. 



This was described from Java, and the Indian so-called 

 albofasciata of Bingham is evidently distinct. Bingham 

 described the female ; it seems possible tlrat it may be 

 identical with N. argenteobalteuta, Cam., based on the male. 



Nomia andrenina, Cockerell. 



Both sexes from Chapra, India (Mackenzie : Fletcher, 16). 



The female differs from the type in being smaller, with 

 dark reddish middle of mandibles and legs with more red, 

 but it is the same species. The male, hitherto unknown, is 

 similar, but has the face and front densely covered with pale 

 ochreous tomentum, flagellum elongated and conspicuously 

 red near base beneath, wings strongly reddened ; first two 

 abdominal segments, before the apical depression, minutely 

 rugose-punctate ; hind legs not modified, their tarsi long ; 

 hind tibise with a dusky suffusion on inner side, but the basi- 

 tarsi clear pale yellowish red. throughout. 



Nomia fletcheri) sp. n. 



$ . — Length about 10'5, anterior wing 8 mm. 

 Kobust, black, with greatly enlarged tegula?, which are 

 white, with a large brown patch; head broad and thick; 

 tongue dagger-like ; mandibles black, faintly reddish in
