JInh. Australia, 50. 7. 



The typo of T. brevicornia (Moreton Bay, 50. 71) is also 

 a male. 



Tetralonia antennata (W. F. Kirby). 



Podalirius antennatus, W. F. Kirby, from Sokotra, is a 

 female Tetralonia of the type of T. iricincta, Lep., with an 

 aj)ical pale yellow band on the clypeus. It is a smaller 

 species than tricincta. Tetralonia antennata (Fabr.) is quite 

 a diflferent species, and is T. malvce (Rossi). 



Nomia testacea (Smith). 



The British Museum contains four males, one being 

 Smith's type of Tetralonia testacea. The locality given is 

 " Africa." Stigma large ; second s.m. less than half length 

 of first or third ; basal nervure with lower section strongly 

 nearly evenly arched ; face narrow ; tegulse rather large. 



Ifomia ceratina (Smith). 



The British Museum possesses a male of Ilalictus cera- 

 tinus, Smith, from Sarawak, not stated to be the type. It is 

 a JS'omia with clavate abdomen, slender basally, the first 

 segment much longer than broad ; segments with light 

 yellowish hair-bands; hind legs slender, simple; head seen 

 from in front nearly exactly circular, a little broader than 

 long ; antennae long and slender ; area of metathorax plicate ; 

 venation normal for JSomia, stigma large. The anterior tarsi 

 are very pale testaceous. 



Agapostemon sicheli, Vachal. 



Ifomia tacita, Cameron (type in British Museum), is this 

 species, though compared with a specimen of A. sicheli it is a 

 little larger and has darker stigma and nervures. The 

 peculiar antennse are quite the same. 



Nomia cillaba, Cameron, is also a male Agapostemon.
