 metatiiorax dull, granular, not enclosed ; tegulte dark ; wings

I thought at first this might be distinct from apacJieorum, 

 but after careful comparison I must regard it as the same, 

 notwithstanding the difference in the process of the labrum, 

 which in the type of apacheorum is truncate, the truncation 

 depressed centrally, but scarcely emarginate. 



Andrena apacheorum, var. j8. 



$ . — Difters as follows : — Process of labrum with emargi- 

 nation rounded, not angular ; clypeus shining, sparsely punc- 

 tured on the disk, with a median impunctate stripe; wings 

 quite dark, stigma somewhat darker.

Another form of apacheorum , which appears to be re- 

 markably variable. 'J'his insect resembles A. solidaginis and 

 A. asteris in many of its characters, but the abdominal bands 

 of soUdoginis are much narrower and asteris differs in various 

 small details. 



Andrena segregans, sp. n. 



$ . — Length about 8 millim. 



Black, with white pubescence, dull on mesothorax and 

 scutellum, with a decided grey tint, some black hairs on vertex 

 and about the base of the antennw ; hair of tarsi greyish, 

 inclining to fuscous, of apex of abdomen stained ivith greyish 

 brown, but not actually sooty. Process of labrum ])roadly 

 truncate, the truncation concave, but only slightly so ; clypeus 

 with strong punctures, not very dense ; antennse dark ; vertex 

 o-vanular; mesothorax dull, microscopically tessellate, with 

 sparse feeble punctures ; basal area of metathorax triangular, 

 minutely roughened, with a slight and delicate rim, obsolete 

 medially ; tegulse dark ; wings smoky ; stigma and nervures 

 very dark brown ; abdomen shining, practically impunctate, 

 narrower than in apacheorum, with thin white hair-bands on
