somewhat reddish, small joints of tarsi ferruginous ; hair on 

 inner side of hind basitarsi pale. 



Close to A. Candida, Smith, but differs in colour of facial 

 fovese, stronger abdominal bands, light hair at apex of 

 abdomen, &c. Compared with A. illinoensis, Rob., the face 

 is much broader and the abdominal bands are heavier, though 

 the colour of the apical hair is the same. It is also related to 

 A. salicinella, Ckll.

Andrena hirticincta surda, subsp. n. 



<§ . — Length about 10 mm. 



With bright yellow pubescence ; in all respects like A. hirti- 

 cincta, Prov., except that the broad and hairy cheeks are 

 rounded, not angled, the tarsi are ferruginous, the hind pair 

 light yellowish ferruginous, the stigma is rather lighter, and 

 the wings have a fuscous apical cloud. The second s.m. is 

 scarcely narrowed above. In some of the published tables 

 this seems to run to A. auricoma, but that species has the 

 hair quite differently coloured, ferruginous rather than yellow. 

 The absence of black hair on the abdomen readily separates 

 it from A. collttina.

A male of genuine A. hirticincta was also collected in 

 Colorado by Morrison.

Culea albovirgatus, sp. n. 



5 , Head dark brown, covered with cream-coloured 



narrow curved scales and numerous daik brown upright forked 

 ones with pale forks. A line of white narrow curved scale3 

 round the eyes, which run into lateral white patches of flat 

 scales. Numerous pale brown bristles converge forward over 

 occiput and project between the eyes. Clypeus dark brown, 

 nude. Palpi dark brown, with scattered white scales, espe- 

 cially upon the inner surface. Proboscis : base dark brown, 

 becoming gradually lighter, so as to form a badly defined 

 broad pale band occupying nearly the median half of pro- 

 boscis followed by a dark brown portion about one-fourth 

 the length, with a pale conical apex. Antennas pale, with
