CoUetes deesensis, sp. n. 



? . — Length about 14 mm., anterior wino- 9 mm. 



In my table (MS.) of Indian CoUetes this runs exactly to 

 C. tiursei, Cam. (from Ferozepore), and 1 at first took it tor 

 that species. However, Col. Nurse gave it to me as a species 

 unknown to him, and it differs from Cameron's description 

 as follows : — jMandildes entirely black; vertex finely rough- 

 ened, without distinct punctures ; middle of mesothorax 

 impunctate ; area of nietatliorax polished, with irregular rugrc 

 on upper part, not forming distinct space-!. Legs without 

 black hair (but this reference in Cameron is probably an 

 error for thick). Basal segment of abdomen fringed with 

 pure white hair at sides, but disc covered with dense yellowish- 

 tinted hair (with long hairs intermixed), leaving a rather 

 ill-defined paitly reddened exposed band before the broad 

 lelt-like apical band, which is tinted with ochreous, puie 

 white only at sides; apical segment above with yellowish- 

 grey hair, not at all black. 



The following t haractcrs are distinctive of the species : — 

 Clypeus swollen, very irregularly jiunctured, the upper part 

 grooved ; labrum with a median jnt and lateral sulci ; malar 

 space dull, nearly twice as broad as long ; antennro black ;
