yellow stripe on each side next to clypeus, and a small trian- 

 gular supraclypeal mark ; scape black, fla;;ellum obscurely 

 subcastaiieous bencatli ; third antennal joint as \o\\^ as next 

 three coml)incd ; nicsothorax and scutellurn finely and closely 

 puiictuied ; teguhe red. Wings reddish fuliginous. Legs 

 bhack, tinged with reddish; outer side of tibiae and tarsi 

 mainly with pale fulvous hair, but anterior tarsi with hair 

 more fuscous, hind basitarsi with fuscous hair apically ; hair 

 on inner side of hiutl tibite and tarsi black ; spurs ])iceous. 

 Abdomen black, with short inconspicuous black hair, and 

 conspicuous but very narrow white hair-bands on apices of 

 segments 1 to 4 ; first segment with fulvous hair at base; 

 fifth segment with apical band very dark fuscous, but ex- 

 treme sides of basal half Avith pale hair. 



Hab. Mt. jMakiling, Luzon (C F. Baker, 2554). 



Quite distinct from all previously known Philippine 

 species. In Bingham's table of Indian species it falls next 

 to A. coiifusa, Sm., which it resembles, differing in the colour 

 of the hair on the legs. The marginal cell of A. luzonica is 

 longer than usual, and the b. n. falls some distance short 

 of t.-m. 



Apis binghami sladeni, subsp. n. 



AVorker, with hair of thorax entirely rufo-fulvous ; basal 

 bands of abdomen inconspicuous. 



Hob. Khasia Hills, India (Sladen). 



True Apis bincjhami, Ckll., is from Celebes and the Philip- 

 pines. One from the Philippines {Baker, 2553, marked 

 "Bho^') has the mesothorax covered with black hair and 

 the light band at base of second abdominal segment very 

 broad and distinct.

Family Asteriidae. 



The genus Lepfasterias (type, L. mulleri), established by 

 me, 186G (Proc. Boston See. N. H. vol. x. p. 350), has been 

 adoi)ted by some writers either as a full genus (Perrier and 

 others) or as a subgenus (Sladen, 1889) ; others have often
