 Bureau of Entomology. 



I have pleasure in naming this fine species after the donor 

 and captor, Mr. T. J. Anderson, Government Entomologist, 

 British East Africa. 



In general appearance this species strongly resembles 

 Anthidhun fiorentimnn, Latr. The subgenus ^fe<^anom1\

 contained only one species, y^. {^[efjanomrci) hinghami, Ckll. 

 (/, c), of which both sexes are described from Damaraland.

 the East-African species as distinct : —
