HYMENOPTERA. 319 



hree apical joints each in succession shorter than the preceding, 

 he apical joint minute. 



The superior wings with one marginal and three submarginal 

 ells, the second and third submarginal cells narrowed towards 

 he marginal, the first recurrent nervure uniting with the second 

 ransverse cubital nervure. 



The flagellum of the antennae of the male one-third longer 

 han that of the female, but having the basal joint of the flagel- 

 um shorter than in the other sex. 



This genus in many particulars agrees with that of Anthophora ; 

 he relative proportions of the mentum, labium and palpi are 

 lowever different, but the neuration of the wings precludes the 

 >ossibility of placing it in that genus. 



. HABROPHORA ZONATULA. B.M. 



Female. Length 6* lines. Black; the face clothed with 

 ulvous pubescence, pale at sides, sparing on the clypeus, and 

 larkest on the vertex ; the labrum densely covered with yellow- 

 sh- white pubescence ; the apex of the mandibles fulvo-testaceous. 

 Phe thorax and basal segment of the abdomen densely clothed 

 vith fulvous pubescence above, beneath the former it is paler ; 

 he legs ferruginous, densely clothed above with fulvous pubes- 

 sence, the scopa on the posterior tibiae pale, on the tarsi beneath 

 t is ferruginous ; the wdngs subhyaline, the nervures ferruginous, 

 he tegulse pale rufo-testaceous. Abdomen ; the apical margins 

 )f the segments have fasciae of short yellowish- white pubes- 

 ;ence ; the fifth and sixth segments have a fringe of longer pu- 

 )esceuce, which is white at the sides and fulvous in the middle. 



Male. Closely resembles the female, but having the clypeus, 

 i triangular spot above it, the face on each side, the scape in 

 Vont, the labrum and mandibles, yellow ; the tips of the latter 

 ind the anterior margin of the clypeus ferruginous ; at the base 

 )f the clypeus are two quadrate spots united at the base, but 

 lot touching the base of the clypeus. The pubescence of the 

 horax, abdomen and legs as in the other sex ; the anterior coxae 

 irmed with an elongate bent spine, which is slightly recurved 

 ind thickened at the apex, terminating in an acute point ; all 

 he femora incrassate ; the basal joint of the anterior tarsi have 

 i broadly dilated quadrate process occupying the apical half be- 

 rind; this process has a row of short curved teeth along its 

 ipical margin ; the second joint is armed beneath with an acute 

 ;ooth ; the basal joint of the posterior tarsi is produced at its 

 ipex beneath ; this process is rounded at the extremity.
