XIV.—Descriptions and Records of Bees—UXXXIV. 
By T. D. A. Cocxrersty, University of Colorado. 
Tux Indian bees recorded below were received from Mr. T. 
V. Ramakrishna Ayyar, Government Entomologist of 
Madras, and were collected by him, except when the 
contrary is stated. 
Crocisa smithii, Dalla Torre. 
Coorg, Sidhapur, Rockhill, 3500 ft., April 23-26. 
This was described from ‘Bombay, Sumatra, Borneo.’’ 
Bombay is herewith desiguated as the type-locality. 
Crocisa ramosella, sp. 0. 
? —Length 105 mm. 
The hair-spots white, not at all tinged with blue. Super- 
ficially appearing identical with C. ramosa, Lep., from 
France, but differing thus: flagellum longer, the middle 
joints longer than wide; posterior spots on mesothorax 
much larger; scutellum much more finely punctured, and 
much more deeply excised posteriorly, its margin W-like ; 
transverse bands at sides of first two abdominal segments 
broader. In the flagellum this resembles the Arabian 
C. fullibilis, Kohl, but the scape is not longer than in 
ramosa, and fallibilis has the scutellum as in ramosa. 
Chittoor, April 19-27, 1913. 
Crocisa albolateralis, sp. 0. 
¢ .—Length 12 mm. 
Robust, with pure white markings. Very close to 
C. ramosella, but larger, with a tuft of white hair on the 
scutellum at the emargination (in addition to the white hair 
projecting from beneath the emargination, which is present 
in both) ; inner sides of scutellar lobes shallowly but very 
distinctly emarginate about the middle; patch of white 
hair on pleura considerably larger ; hind tibiz with more 
white hair; transverse bands on first abdominal segmeut 
narrowing mesad, subacute, thus quite different from those 
on second, which are very obtuse, with the upper edge con- 
eave (in ramosella the bands are nearly the same on the two 
segments) ; second abdominal segment lcss closcly pune- 
tured, and with the basal half greenish. 
Kurnool District, Tippanur, Aug. 16, 1913.
