follows: mantlibles much shorter, tlie apex reacliing only a 

 little beyond middle line of clypeus ; head round instead of 

 quadrate, the occiput and cheeks less developed ; cheeks in 

 lateral view about as wide as eye. Wings hyaline, faintly 

 greyish ; b. n. falling a little short of t.-m. ; abdomen be- 

 yond the second segment with a fine thin pruinose pubescence. 

 The punctures of the abdomen are very much finer than in 

 the American H. carinatus, Cresson. The ventral scopa is 

 white. 



(^ . — Length about 5 mm. 



Formed as in H. trmicorum, but readily separated by the 

 hyaline wings. 



Hab. Yormosa. (Saute}'). Berlin Museum. Six specimens 

 were obtained at Takao, Sept. 29 and Oct. 11, 1907. 



The genus is new to Formosa. The species is apparently 

 related also to H. tenuis, Nurse, from Mt. Abu, but the tibiae 

 are not especially eidarged. There is no tooth at each side 

 of the scutellum in H. sauteri ? ; hence in Friese's table of 

 Palsearctic species it runs to the Egyptian H. moricei, Friese, 

 from which it is at once separated by the non-dentate clypeal 

 margin. 



Megachile faceta, Bingham. 



Two females in the Berlin Museum were collected by 

 Sauter in Formosa, one at Cikutoge, May 1909. Bingham 

 reported the species from Burma and Tenasserim ; I have 

 one from the Khasia Hills, received from Mr. Sladen. 



Megachile studiosella, n. n. 



Megachile sfudiosa, Bingham, Jn. Bombay Nat. Ilist. Soc. 1898, p. 12G 

 Simla. (Not M. sludiosa, Cresson.)

 Ventral scopa white. 



Megachile (Eumegachile) dinura, sp. n. 



? . — Length about 19 mm. 



Black ; hair of head short and black, a little fulvous on 

 lower part of cheeks ; mandibles with a broad cutting-edge, 

 but only two teeth ; clypeus transverse, short, densely rugose, 

 not at all keeled, lower margin straight, with a pair of small 

 obscure tubercles in the middle; cheeks with very large 

 punctures ; vertex, mesothorax, and scutellum very densely 

 punctured, scutellum more coarsely than mesothorax ; meso- 

 thorax and scutellum almost nude, with some very short 

 inconspicuous black hair ; other parts of thorax with fulvous
