Xylocopa lateralis, Say. 



A female from Antigua, Guatemala {IV. P. Cockerell), is 

 referred with assurance to A', lateralis, hitherto known onlv 

 in the male. The face is, of course, entirely black. Except 

 for the fact that the wings are translucent reddish broAvn 

 with only a faint pinkish iridescence (instead of fuscous, 

 shining blue), and the anterior tarsi have all the hair on 

 inner side red, the insect seems not to dither from the 

 Brazilian C. crotolarice, Sohrottky. The width of the abdo- 

 men is Sh mm. Superficially the insect looks exactlv like 

 A', iiiicans, Lep.
