Megachile lachesis nigrolateralis, subsp. n. 



(T . — Agrees with M. lachesis, Sm., from Bismarck Archi- 

 pelago, except as follows : — Hair of sides of face wholly 

 black, but light between anteimee ; w ings paler, especially 

 the basal two-thirds, It is much smaller than M. atrata, Sui. 



Hub. Los Banos, Philippine Is., 2 S {Baker, 1789). 



Panurginus crawfordi, sp. n. 



S . — Length about 7 mm. 



Black, the clypeus (but no lateral face-marks) pale prim- 

 rose-yellow ; anterior tibise yellow in front, their tarsi 

 reddish yellow ; middle tarsi pale dull reddish, hind tarsi 

 dark ; antenna black; first r, n. joining first s.m, near end. 



This has almost exactly the characters of P. hern, Mor., 

 from Siberia, closely resembling P. montanus, but difiering 

 by the very delicately punctured clypeus, the darker hind 

 legs, the hind basitarsus slender, with the three following 

 joints cordiform, and the sixth ventral segment without hair* 

 patches. P. herzi, however, has the abdomen opaque or 

 nearly so, in the manner of montanus, while the Japanese 

 species has it brilliantly shining. The mesothorax of our 

 species is very shiny, with widely scattered extremely minute 

 punctures, while in w/OH/flrtMS it is duller; the antennae are 

 longer than in montanus, and the stigma is darker.

The P. montanus compared was collected by Friese at 

 Airolo, June 29, 1884. This is the first Pamirginus from 

 Japan. Mr. J. C. Crawford, in transmitting it to me, 

 expressed the opinion that it was new,
