Colletes deesensis, sp. n. 
2? .—Leneth about 14 mm., anterior wing 9 mm. 
In my table (MS.) of Indian Colletes this runs exactly to 
CO. nurset, Cam. (from Ferozepore), and I at first took it for 
that species. However, Col. Nurse gave it to me asa species 
unknown to him, and it differs from Cameron’s description 
as follows:—Mandibles entirely black; vertex finely rough- 
ened, without distinct punctures; middle of mesothorax 
impunctate ; area of metathorax polished, with irregular rugee 
on upper part, not forming distinct spaces. Legs without 
black hair (but this reference in Cameron is probably an 
error for thick). Basal segment of abdomen fringed with 
pure white lair at sides, but disc covered with dense yellowish- 
tinted hair (with long hairs intermixed), leaving a rather 
ill-defined partly reddened exposed band before the broad 
felt-like apical band, which is tinted with ochreous, pure 
white only at sides; apical segment above with yellowish- 
grey hair, not at all black. 
The following characters are distinctive of the species :— 
Clypeus swollen, very irregularly punctured, the upper part 
grooved ; labrum with a median pit and lateral sulci ; malar 
space dull, nearly twice as broad as long ; antennee black ;
