EXOMALUPSIS. 



Third joint of labial palpus conspicuously stouter 



than 4 E. Solant, Ckll. 



Third and fourth joints of labial palpus long and 



slender, of equal thickness E. j>enelope, Ckll. 



A N T H P H R I N I. 



Maxillary palpi 4- jointed, labial palpi 2-joiuted. . Saropoda, Latr. 



Maxillary palpi o-jointed 1. 



Maxillary palpi 6-joiuted 2. 



1. Blade of maxilla f^reatly elongated, whip- 



like ; tongue extremely long Entechnia, Patton. 



Not so Anthophoroides, g. n. 



2. Third joint of labial palpi attached to tip of 



second; first two joints with long hair. . . . Meliturga, Latr. 

 Third joint of labial palpi attached to side of 

 second 3. 



3. Blade of maxilla broad at base, suddenly 



narrowing to the slender apical portion . . Diadasia, Patton. 

 Blade of maxilla broad, gradually naiTowing 

 to the more or less blunt tip 4. 



4. Second joint of maxillary palpi very much 



longer than first Anthophora, Latr. 



Second joint of maxillary palpi not much 

 longer than first Emphoropsis, Ashm. 



The last three genera arc separated also by good characters 

 of the venation, for which see the tables of Ashinead and 

 Cresson. Ashmead cites no type for his new genus Empho- 

 ropsis, but in a letter he informs nie that it is Flahropoda 

 floridana, Smith. The known species of Emphoropsis arc 

 E. jloridanus (^Habropoda floridana, Sm.), E. miserabilis 

 [H. miserabilisy Cress.), -£^. Morrisoni (H. Morn'sont, Ovess.), 

 and E. salviarum {H. salviarujn, Ckll.). 



EmpJioropsis differs from Habropoda by the relatively long 

 first joint of maxillary palpi and the second not so long as 4 

 to 6 united ; there are also other important differences, duly 

 indicated by Ashmead. 



AntuophorOIDES, gen. nov. 



Type A. vallorum [Pud'ilirius vaUorum, Ckll.). Maxillary 

 palpi 5-jointed, the second joint long, the last very small. 

 The superficially similar Anthophora LesquerellcBj Ckll., is a 

 true Anthophora.
