Bees of the Genus Aiulrciia. 103 



(^ . — Length about 9 millim. 



More slender, witli slender legs ; abdominal liair-bands 

 less developed ; face wholly black ; flagelluni only slightly 

 brownish beneath. 



//ah. Seattle, Washington State, April 5, 18:'G {Trevor 

 Kincaid). 



Belongs to the group of A. rugosa. The abdomen is 

 fashioned mucl; as in A. spirceana. In A. stn'atifrons the 

 raised basal portions of the abdominal segments are also punc- 

 tured, but more closely than in A. sem (punctata. 



Andrena hartfordensis, sp. n. 



? . — Size, form, ])ubescence, wings, &c. as in ^1. hipunc- 

 tata, but has the clypeus minutely tessellate and dull all over, 

 with rather sparse shallow punctures ; the facial fovea3 broader 

 above ; the second submarginal cell broader above ; and the 

 mesothorax with distinct though shallow and rather sparse 

 ])uncture3. Process of labrum truncate. 



It is extremely close to A. nothoscordi, but differs by the 

 punctured mesothorax, the cheeks not bulging, the mandibles 

 rufescent only at tips, the mesothorax dull all over, and the 

 flagelluni only faintly brown beneath. 



The caudal fimbria is fulvous or greyish fulvouf? ; the three 

 white abdominal hair-bands are very narrow and entire ; the 

 wings are yellowish, with ferruginous stigma and nervures. 



IJah. Hartford, Connecticut, May 31, 189G {S. N'. Dun- 

 ning, no. 1026) ; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, May 28 {Dr. S. 

 Grcem'cher, no. 8). 



According to Robertson the antennai of nothoscordi are 

 shorter than those of bipunctata ; this is by no means the case 

 in hartfordensis. 



Andrena bipunctata, Cresson. 



A new locality is Ithaca, N. Y., May 11, 1890 [Mac- 

 gillivray) . 



A ndrena kansensis, Ckll. 



Gallinas River, at Las Valles, New Mexico ; two males at 

 flowers of jdum, April 20, 1901. New to New Mexico. 



At the same time and place, also on flowers of plum, were 

 taken many examples of Andrena prunorunij Ckll. Las 

 Valles is the place Intherto cited in my papers as "Gallinas 

 River, at La Cueva"; I was misinformed regarding the 

 name of the locality.
