  On 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  bright 
  ferruginous 
  hair 
  on 
  thorax, 
  this 
  looks 
  very 
  

   difi'erent 
  from 
  C. 
  petreae, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  evidently 
  a 
  form 
  of 
  that 
  species.

  A 
  peculiar 
  species, 
  which 
  I 
  thought 
  might 
  be 
  a 
  melanic 
  variety 
  of 
  

   a 
  Rhodocentris 
  of 
  the 
  C. 
  lanipes 
  type.

  Honduras: 
  Zamorano. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  comparatively 
  small 
  and 
  slender 
  

   species 
  very 
  common 
  at 
  Zamorano. 
  The 
  female 
  has 
  two 
  obliquely 
  

   placed 
  pale 
  yellow 
  spots 
  on 
  clypeus, 
  well 
  separated 
  from 
  one 
  another, 
  

   slender 
  lateral 
  face 
  marks, 
  coming 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  above 
  below 
  level 
  of 
  

   antennae, 
  rather 
  obscure 
  whitish 
  areas 
  at 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  labrum, 
  basal 
  

   half 
  of 
  mandibles 
  pale 
  yellow 
  (but 
  apical 
  half 
  black) 
  ; 
  flagellum 
  dusky 
  

   ferruginous 
  beneath; 
  scape 
  all 
  black; 
  thorax 
  pale 
  fulvous 
  above, 
  white 
  

   beneath; 
  front 
  and 
  middle 
  legs 
  black, 
  but 
  hind 
  legs 
  red; 
  hair 
  of 
  hind 
  

   tibiae 
  and 
  tarsi 
  entirely 
  pale 
  reddish. 
  

  

  The 
  male 
  has 
  the 
  clypeus 
  pale 
  yellow 
  except 
  base 
  and 
  apex, 
  very 
  

   slender 
  lateral 
  marks 
  reaching 
  about 
  level 
  of 
  top 
  of 
  clypeus, 
  labrum 
  

   all 
  pale, 
  mandible 
  light 
  yellow 
  with 
  the 
  bidentate 
  apex 
  black; 
  flagellum 
  

   dusky 
  reddish 
  beneath, 
  black 
  at 
  base 
  and 
  apex; 
  scape 
  all 
  black; 
  legs 
  

   entirely 
  black 
  ; 
  hind 
  trochanters 
  spined 
  ; 
  hind 
  femora 
  swollen 
  ; 
  hair 
  on 
  

   hind 
  tibiae 
  and 
  basitarsi 
  mostly 
  black 
  or 
  blackish, 
  but 
  yellowish 
  

   white 
  posteriorly 
  on 
  the 
  tibiae 
  ; 
  hair 
  on 
  first 
  tergite 
  of 
  the 
  red 
  abdomen 
  

   white, 
  at 
  apex 
  of 
  abdomen 
  pale 
  reddish. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  variable 
  black 
  or 
  

   dusky 
  cloud 
  on 
  fourth 
  and 
  fifth 
  tergites. 
  

  

  Both 
  sexes 
  were 
  taken 
  in 
  numbers 
  on 
  an 
  adobe 
  wall 
  at 
  San 
  Francisco 
  

   finca, 
  near 
  Zamorano, 
  November 
  10. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  from 
  this 
  locality. 
  

   A 
  male 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  beach 
  at 
  San 
  Jose 
  port, 
  Guatemala, 
  December
