398 Mr. T, D. A. Cockerell — Descriptions and 



abdominal bands light yellowisb with a sort of greenish tint ; 

 fifth ventral segment feebly emarginate, as in zonata, but 

 with a large, median, subapical, dull black patch where the 

 sculpture runs in semicircular lines; flagellum ferruginous 

 beneath ; legs as in zonata. 



Hah. Adelaide River {J, J. Walker, 890). 



Anthophora Salteri, sp. n. 



cJ . — Length about 11 mm. 



Looks just like A. adelaidoe, except that the abdominal 

 bands are dull white, the foot-like marks on the clypeus have 

 a short heel and a long thick toe, and the flagellum is only 

 dull dark brownish beneath. I should hardly venture to 

 separate it but for the entirely different structure of the fifth 

 ventral segment of the abdomen, which has a very broad, 

 deep, rounded emargination, its sides forming nearly a right 

 angle with the margin on each side, which is furnished with 

 two or three short but strong spines.
