hair ; dark brown hair on sides of thorax more extensive; 

 second and third abdominal segments with a thin transverse 

 band of greyish tomentum, not conspicuous. 



Type (male) from the Federal District, Mexico (J^. R. 

 Lulu, 56). U.S. Nat. ^Museum. Female from Oaxaca, 

 Mexico, Sept. 18 (L. 0. Howard). 



Related to X. assimilis (Smith), but without the black 

 patch of hair on thorax a])ove in female. The male antenna3 

 are formed as in X. pruinosa (Say). The species belongs 

 to the subgenus Peponapis of Robertson, though differing 

 from his type-species in the black clypeus of male and 

 reduction of pale hair on female abdomen. 



Allodape Candida, Smith. 



$ . — Mkonumbi, near Lamu, Tana River^ E. Africa, 

 Sept. 1892 (Chanler Exped.). 



This difters slightly from Smith's description, and from a 

 specimen from Abyssinia, sent by Grribodo, in that the light 

 bund on clypeus is not at all widened at the lower end. 



Leptergatis globulifera, sp. n. 



(J. — Length 6-6'5 mm. 



Black_, with the long flagellum dull ferruginous beneath, 

 teguiie rufo-piceous, legs more or less suffused with reddish^

Close to L. armata (Smith), differing thus : scape dark ; 

 ocelli closer together ; clypeus and labrum entirely black, 

 mandibles mainly dark reddish ; tegulse darker ; abdominal 

 hair-bands less distinct; wings a little more dusky. The 

 hind legs are practically as in L. armata. The co-type has 

 the mandibles paler, with a large pale yellowish spot, beyond 

 which they are ferruginous. 



Venezuela ; type from Aroa^ Dec. 12, 1910 {M. A. 

 Carriker). U.S. Nat. Museum. Another is from Lagunita 

 de Aroa, 2000 ft. alt. {M. A. Carriker). 



Prosopis holomelcena, sp. n. 



$ . — Length about 6 mm., anterior wing 4'5. 



Entirely black, without light markings ; robust, with no 

 depression between first and second dorsal abdominal seg- 

 ments ; clypeus long, dull, the punctures very indistinct ; 

 apical part of flagellum bright ferruginous beneath ; punc- 

 tures of mesothorax and scutellum excessively minute, the
