542 Major C. G. Nurse on new 



and tarsi fulvous or fulvescent, elsewhere greylsli ; it is 

 sparse on llie clypeus and front, and forms apical bauds on 

 abdominal segments 1-4 ; tibial calcaria testaceous, the inner 

 calcar on the posterior legs strongly serrate on the inside. 

 Wings hyaline, with a flavous tinge, slightly darker at apex ; 

 nervures and stigma testaceous, tegulte dark brown. 



Long. 15-17 millim. 



Hah. Kashmir, 5000-6000 feet ; frequents thistles. 



This does not fit well into any of the sections of Bingham's 

 key. It is, however, much the largest species that has 

 hitherto been recorded from India. 



Balictus resurgens^ sp. n. 



? . Clypeus finely but not very closely, remainder of head 

 and thorax minutely and very closely punctured, abdomen 

 finely aciculate ; clypeus much produced, transverse ante- 

 riorly ; head as wide as thorax ; mesonotum with a median 

 longitudinal impressed line ; enclosed space at base of 

 median segment large, concave, and minutely rugose, ap- 

 pearing, when viewed in some directions, obliquely striate. 

 Black ; the apical two or three joints of the tarsi testaceous, 

 also the calcaria ; inner calcar of posterior tibi?e serrate on 

 the inside ; pubescence grey, forming apical bands on abdo- 

 minal segments 1-4 and a slight basal band in the second 

 segment; on the tibiae, tarsi, and round the anal rima it is 

 fulvescent. Wings hyaline, nervures and stigma testaceous, 

 tegulse dark testaceous. 



Long. 11-12 millim. 



IJah. Kashmir, 5000-6000 feet ; common. 



Nearest the previous species, but smaller; the different 

 puncturing of the mesonotum would serve to distinguish 

 them at once. 



Andrena patella^ sp. n. 



? . Clypeus closely and finely, remainder of head more 

 minutely, abdomen minutely but not very distinctly punc- 

 tured, the sculpturing of the thorax hidden by the pubes- 

 cence; clypeus tiansverse anteriorly, with a median longitu- 

 dinal carina, front with a carina from anterior ocellus which 

 does not reach the carina on the clypeus. Black ; interme- 

 diate and posterior tarsi rufo-testaceous, tibial calcaria pale ; 

 pubescence dense, on head, thorax, legs, and first two abdo- 

 minal segments pale fulvous, palest on the latter; on the 

 remainder of abdomen it is black, on the fifth searuient mixed
