spot on each side ; clypeus trilobed, yellow except lateral

 eye, except that they are more or less excavated above), and 

 scape in front also yellow ; eyes greenish, prominent; tongue 

 and labial palpi very long (tongus fully 12 mm.) ; projecting 

 apex of second joint of labial palpi with a conspicuous brush 

 of red hair; pulvilli with two teeth or horns ; middle tarsi

Jlab. Khamba Jong ; nil particulars as in type. 



In Friese'a tables (' Die Bienen Europa's ') this runs nearest 

 to A. venialis, but is quite distinct. It is not like any of the 

 described Indian species. 



Anthopliora khambana, sp. n. 



$ . — Length 15 mm. ; expanse 26. 



In appearance closely resembles Bingham's figure of the 

 female of A. pulchem'ma, having the same ochreous hair on 

 thorax and base of abdomen, and the same bright red hair 

 covering the abdomen beyond. It is evidently close to 

 pulchem'ma, but differs as follows : — Hair of head, pleura, 

 and under side of thorax entirely black ; sides and apical 

 segment of abdomen with black hair; hair of legs black, 

 reddish on inner side of anterior tarsi. Malar space well 

 developed, about twice as broad as long ; labium shining, 

 with irregular deep punctures ; clypeus strongly punctured, 

 not keeled ; antennae black, third joint fully as long as the 

 three following ; tegulaj dark reddish. Wings moderately 

 dusky ; b. n. meeting t.-m. Hind spurs ferruginous, curved 

 at end. The abdomen has a subapical tuft of white hair on 

 each side beneath.

Anthopliora orophila, sp. n. 



? . — Length about 14 mm. ; expanse about 23^. 



No light tegumentary markings ; hair of head except 

 vertex, pleura, ventral surface, legs, and dorsum of abdomen 

 beyond second segment black; hair of vertex, thorax above, 

 and first two segments of abdomen yellow, becoming a lively 

 orange on second abdominal segment ; malar space well 

 developed; labrum very coarsely sculptured; clypeus well 

 punctured at sides, but very sparsely in middle; third an- 

 tennal joint as long as the three following together ; tegulae
