  Thus 
  there 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  our 
  species 
  is 
  distinct. 
  I 
  

   cannot 
  identify 
  it 
  with 
  any 
  of 
  those 
  recorded 
  by 
  Friese 
  from 
  Costa 
  

   Rica.

  Another 
  Seladonia 
  found 
  in 
  Central 
  America 
  is 
  H. 
  hesperus 
  Smith, 
  

   of 
  which 
  I 
  noted 
  the 
  female 
  type 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum: 
  Eyes 
  as 
  in 
  

   Halictus; 
  head 
  broad, 
  facial 
  quadrangle 
  about 
  square; 
  hind 
  spur 
  with 
  

   three 
  broad 
  teeth; 
  abdomen 
  strongly 
  yellowish 
  green, 
  the 
  pale 
  ochra- 
  

   ceous 
  bands 
  basal 
  and 
  apical; 
  third 
  submarginal 
  cell 
  much 
  larger 
  than 
  

   second, 
  but 
  very 
  broad 
  above, 
  with 
  outer 
  margin 
  little 
  curved. 
  The 
  

   abdomen 
  differs 
  conspicuously 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  Honduras 
  

   species 
  now 
  described. 
  

  

  HALICTUS

  but 
  not 
  excessively 
  so; 
  clypeus

   shining, 
  but

  mainly 
  dull, 
  a 
  shining 
  space 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  above 
  

   upper 
  margin 
  of 
  clypeus; 
  mesonotum 
  dull, 
  shining 
  in 
  front, 
  median 
  

   groove 
  distinct 
  in 
  front, 
  but 
  very 
  short; 
  scutellum 
  shining; 
  area 
  of 
  

   metathorax 
  shining, 
  basally

  wings 
  dusky, 
  not 
  

   reddish; 
  stigma 
  dusky 
  red; 
  third 
  submarginal 
  cell 
  broad, 
  its 
  outer 
  side 
  

   cm-ved, 
  but 
  without 
  a 
  double 
  curve; 
  legs 
  with 
  pale 
  hair, 
  the 
  scopa 
  on 
  

   hind 
  legs 
  carrying 
  very 
  pale 
  yellowish 
  pollen; 
  abdomen 
  dullish, 
  the 
  

   bands 
  of 
  tomentum 
  basal, 
  fulvous, 
  narrow 
  on 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  tergites, 
  

   on 
  fourth 
  and 
  beyond 
  practically 
  covering 
  the 
  surface; 
  exposed 
  parts 
  

   of 
  abdomen 
  partly 
  dull, 
  partly 
  shining.

  This 
  may 
  be 
  compared 
  with 
  H. 
  providens 
  Smith, 
  from 
  Guatemala, 
  

   but 
  it 
  is 
  evidently 
  distinct, 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  following 
  notes 
  on 
  H, 
  

   providens, 
  which 
  I 
  made 
  at 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  H. 
  providens. 
  Hind 
  spur 
  with 
  about 
  five 
  spines. 
  It 
  is 
  an 
  Evylaeus 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  

   broad 
  head, 
  facial 
  quadrangle 
  very 
  much 
  broader 
  than 
  long; 
  third 
  submarginal 
  

   cell 
  strongly 
  convex 
  on 
  outer 
  side; 
  cheeks 
  broad 
  and 
  subquadrate; 
  mesothorax 
  

   shining, 
  with 
  very 
  sparse 
  punctures; 
  first 
  abdominal 
  tergite 
  strongly 
  shining, 
  

   impunctate.
