nmnta tlic ])latc is hroiulcr at end, with the median keel 

 very stronj;, and the axill;i> have at most a few hliu; liairs.) 

 Compared with C. rcducta, (.'kll., iVom Siiij^apore, it is 

 smaller, witli the scutclliim loss deeply iiieised, the bands at 

 sides of third abdominal segment entire (broken in rcducta), 

 and spots on fifth segment with posterior side oblique. 



Island of Penang (Baker, 9595). 



"Were the range of this insect continnous with that of 

 C. amata, it would be regarded as a loeal raee or subspecies ; 

 but as it occurs in an island so remote from Formosa, it 

 may re|)resent a parallel or convergent type, not derived 

 from the amuta stock. It is (juite distinct from the other 

 Penang species, C. ridleyi, Ckll., and C. caHnra, Ckll. 



Crocisa angidifera, sp. n. 



? . — Similar to C. decora, Smith, from Singapore, but 

 differing thus : anterior spots on thorax separated by an 

 interval equal to the length of one ; median stripe narrower ; 

 discal spots much smaller; axillae without spots; inner 

 margins of scutellar lobes without a double curve; basal 

 band of abdomen hardly half as broad ; angular projections 

 of blue at sides of first segment very sharply pointed ; 

 bands on following segments narrower, and truncate mesad. 

 The black band on pleura is extremely broad. The basi- 

 tarsi have blue hair on outer side. The scutellum is without 

 blue spots. 



(^ . — Similar; going to C. emarginata, Jjep., in Friese's 

 table, but with large teeth on hind femora beneath. 



Sandakan, Borneo (Baker, [)597, 9596). The female is 

 the type. 



Xylocopa collaris, Lepeletier. 



A female from Sandakan, Borneo (Baker, 9603), has the 

 l)and of white hair on thorax anteriorly narrowed, essentially 

 as in snhsp. penanycnsis. In a female from "Wahnes S.," 

 South-east Borneo (JVolf v. Schoenberg) , this ])aiul is very 

 broad. Is this a matter of individual variation or dimor- 

 phism, or are there two races in Borneo? The Sandakan 

 insect is not penanr/ensis, as it differs in the male. 



Trigona ilaina, Cockerell, variety a. 



A sjjecimen from the Island of Penang (Baker, 9590) 

 appears to belong to T. itama, having a hairy scutellum and 

 all the general features of that s[)ecies. It ditfers in having
