  Zamorano, 
  January 
  (Rua

  Described 
  from 
  

  

  San 
  Jose, 
  Costa 
  Rica. 
  This 
  very 
  small 
  bee 
  is 
  easily 
  recognized 
  by 
  its 
  

  

  red 
  clypeus.

  Length 
  about 
  11 
  mm.; 
  black, 
  with 
  broad 
  fulvous 
  sutural 
  

   bands 
  at 
  ends 
  of 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  tergites, 
  the 
  first 
  band 
  partly 
  on 
  first 
  

   tergite 
  and 
  partly 
  at 
  base 
  of 
  second, 
  the 
  second 
  band 
  on 
  apical 
  part 
  

   of 
  second 
  tergite, 
  and 
  in 
  middle 
  about 
  as 
  wide 
  as 
  the 
  black 
  part 
  before 
  

   it; 
  face 
  rather 
  narrow, 
  the 
  facial 
  quadrangle 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  wide; 
  

   flagellum 
  obscurely 
  brownish 
  beneath; 
  clypeus 
  shining, 
  with 
  distinct 
  

   punctures, 
  front 
  and 
  cheeks 
  with 
  long 
  white 
  hair; 
  thorax 
  above 
  

   densely 
  covered 
  with 
  long 
  pale 
  ferruginous 
  hair; 
  area 
  of 
  metathorax 
  

   not 
  ribbed; 
  tegulae 
  pale 
  testaceous; 
  wings 
  yellowish, 
  with 
  very 
  pale 
  

   stigma 
  and 
  nervures; 
  legs 
  black, 
  the 
  tarsi 
  reddish 
  at 
  end; 
  hind 
  basitarsi 
  

   broad, 
  with 
  black 
  hair 
  on 
  outer 
  side; 
  abdomen 
  duUish, 
  but 
  the 
  bands 
  

   are 
  shining; 
  apex 
  fulvous, 
  but 
  the 
  hair 
  surrounding 
  the 
  apex 
  is 
  white. 
  

   This 
  species 
  appears 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  subgenus 
  Pterandrena, 
  and 
  so 
  is 
  

   related 
  to 
  A. 
  discreta 
  Smith, 
  from 
  Oaxaca, 
  Mexico, 
  but 
  that 
  species 
  

   has 
  the 
  abdomen 
  ferruginous, 
  with 
  the 
  base 
  black.
