Ill ^Ir. T. D. A. Cockerell — Descriptions and 



dense circular fringe of hair, mainly black, but white apically, 

 the hairs longest on posterior side ; apical joint of middle 

 tarsi simple, except for a thin outstanding; tuft of" hair on 

 one side ; hind femora and tibiic with brown-black hair, but 

 the basitarsi with a very conspicuous tuft of pure white hair 

 at end, and the three middle tarsal joints with white hair ; 

 hind basitarsi not toothed; first two segments of abdomen 

 vith long hair like that on thorax above ; the others with 

 long erect black hair, but some white hair laterally. 



Tlie specimen described is from Tunis (Le ]\Ioult, Queens- 

 land Museum). 



A male from Bone, Algeria, difters conspicuously in that 

 the apical yellow band of ch' pens is very broad, reaching the 

 lateral face-marks, and forming a right-angle with the 

 vertical clyjjcal mark. One from Tangier, Marocco, is more 

 like the Tunis example. It would be difficult to recognise 

 this insect from the brief account of the male in Fricse's 

 ' Apidjc Europeae,' and in his table it seems to run nearest 

 to A. halearica, Friese. I therefore give a new description. 

 Lepeletier gave the localities as Oran and the Canary Is. 

 Oran must be considered the type-locality ; the Canary Is. 

 material was doubtless A. alhiattdi, Perez. 



Anthophora nigrocinda, Lepeletier. 



Anthophora rohusta, King. 

 Both from Has-cl-]Ma, Algeria. (Queensland ]\Iuseum.) 

 A Tetralonia riificollis, Brulle, comes from the same 

 locality, and a T. lucasi, Gribodo, from Tunis. 



Anthophora dis)-upta, sp. u. 



? . — Length about 17 mm. 



Like A. atrocincta, Lep., except that the apprcssed rufo- 

 f ulvous pile of the abdomen covers all of the second segment 

 except the extreme base, the pale markings of the head are 

 yellower, the vertical band on clypeus is narrow (not wcdgc- 

 sliaped), and the clypeus is not so higli. It may deserve to 

 r:ink only as a subspecies. 



Olokemeji, Ibadan, Nigeria (from Le Moult). Received 

 from Queensland ^Museum. 



Crocisa intirnipta, A'achal, comes from the same locality. 

 Also from this locality are four species of Triyona, separable 

 thus : —
