By its characters, this falls in the American genus 
Hypanthidium, but it is a very distinct form. The end of 
the abdomen recalls that of Anthidium pulchellum, Klug. 
Dianthidium ramakrishne, sp. n. 
2 .—Length about 6°35 mm. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen black, with cream-coloured

cheeks, reaching sides of occiput, band on mesothorax above 
each tegula (not reaching anterior corners of mesothorax), 
end of tubercles, spot on axille, narrowly interrupted band 
on scutellum, spot at each side of first abdominal segment, 
very broadly interrupted band on second, less broadly inter- 
rupted band on third, one very narrowly interrupted on 
fourth, and that on fifth only emarginate anteriorly in 
middle, sixth segment with a transverse oblong patch. 
Head and thorax very densely and finely punctured ; flage:- 
lum dark chestnut-red beneath ; pubescence of head and 
thorax very scanty, white ; tegule large, closely punctured,

Related to D. rasorium (Anthidium rasorium, Smith), 
but without the abundant white pubescence, and differing 
in the details of coloration.
