 Cockerell) ; Amatitlau, Guatemala, oue, Feb. 5, 1912 {W. P. 

 Cockeye II). 



The third abdominal segment may be without evident dark 

 basal areas. This is a very red member of the subgenus 

 Mlcranthophora, and is closely related to the Mexican Antho- 

 jjhora squammulosa, Dours, dilfering by the absence of any 

 border of dark hair to the abdominal segments, the black 

 hair of vertex not mixed with white, the smoky wings, &c.

 and obscurely over a good part of second ; mandibles stout, 

 red, with black apex ; lateral margins of labrum broadly 

 red ; eyes purplish, their hair very short ; sides of face and

 inner side of tarsi shining light yellowish. Abdomen with 

 very narrow, entire, pure white hair-bands ; first dorsal 

 segment with scattered strong punctures ; second to fifth 

 rather well punctured basally, but beyond that smooth and 

 with few punctures except at sides ; last dorsal with small 

 punctures and a feeble keel, the apex rather thick and very 

 obtuse ; last ventral prolonged some distance beyond last
