white hair-band, wholly absent from the middle half; segments 2 

 to 4 with very broad entire bands of grayish-white tomentum; apex 

 of abdomen with ochreous hair. 



Hah. — Laguna, California {R. La FoUettc, B 5, B 8). In 

 Friese's table of Exomal apsis ( 1899) this runs to E. texana Friese, 

 but that is a much smaller species, with quite differently colored 

 tegulcT and stigma. E. texana belongs to the genus or subgenus 

 AutJiophorula and E. iiitois is doubtless to be referred to the same 

 group, although the male is unknown. It is quite distinct from 

 J. coqiiilletti (Ashm.), which Baker has taken at Claremont.

 golden, mesothorax bluer green, abdomen yellowish-green; clypeus 

 strongly punctured, broadly black apically; mandibles with a small 

 green spot at base; face very broad, eyes deeply emarginate (about 

 as in A. para, much more so than in A. coiifiisa) ; front extremely 

 finely and densely punctured; anterior lateral corners of prothorax 

 rounded; tubercles prominent; mesothorax very finely and densely 

 punctured; area of metathorax with many fine short plicce, but 

 the margin thickened, obtuse, without definite sculpture; tegulae

 terior tibis with metallic tints in front; hind spur of hind tibia

 two segments with a hardly noticeable dark margin; fifth segment 

 dark blue-green, with fuscous hair; venter black. 



Hah. — Aliso Canyon, California {R. La Follette, B IS). A 

 species of the group of A. piira and A. coiifiisa. From A. piira (rob- 

 ertsoni) it is known by the much smoother, more finely punctured 

 supraclypeal area, the thick rounded rim of area of metathorax and 

 the dark nervures. From A. coiifiisa it is known by the deeply 

 emarginate eyes, broad face, much shorter plicae of metathorax and 

 dark nervures. From A. ncglcctida by the much broader head,
