Anthophora curia, Provancher. 



El Paso, Texas, at yellow flowers of a species of Compositaj, 

 Nov. 7, 1913, 4 ? {P. H. Timberlake, 2). 



Of these, two are typical cwr/a, while two have the hair ou 

 inner side of hind basitarsi rather dark ferruginous. These 

 latter are clearly curia, not A. peritoma. 



Tetralonia poetica, sp. n. 



S . — Length about 12 mm. 



In my table in Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. xxxii. p. 79, runs 

 out at 4, because yellow of clypeus is not notched at sides ; 

 except for this character it runs to T. frnter (Cress.) on p. 80, 

 to which it is very closely allied. It differs from T. frater 

 (a co-type from Colorado compared) by the clypeal yellow 

 being pale lemon instead of almost orange, its ujjper border 

 arched, leaving the up|)er and lateral margins of the clypeus 

 broadly black ; face broader ; hair of thorax above more 

 strongly ochreous ; apical plate of abdomen broader ; last 

 ventnd segment with the oblique submarginal ridges straight 

 or nearly (curved in fraler), and apical corners of segment 

 ])romiuent (not so in frater). 



I thought this might be the male of T. viryata (Ckll.), 

 but the b. n. in viryata squarely meets the t.-m., whereas in 

 poetica it fulls short of it.
