58 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



(pp. 397-406, text-figs. 1-3), from which seventy-three species 

 are recorded. 



L. Eeb continues his paper "On European Coccidse " 

 (pp. 407-19), dealing with twenty-one species of "Lecanium." 



Dk. Koningsberger has continued his researches upon the 

 economic entomology of Java by his recent consideration (16) of 

 the insect enemies of rice, tobacco, tea, coffee, india-rubber, 

 and other plants. The metamorphoses, so far as known, are 

 described as well as the nature of the damages. The five plates 

 contain over one hundred figures of all orders. 



ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF ANTHOPHOEID BEES 

 FROM COLORADO. 



By T. D. a. Cockerell. 



The Anthophorids are swift-flying bees, not easily caught, 

 and on this account have not. usually been obtained by col- 

 lectors of miscellaneous insects. Some of them fly only in the 

 spring, and have disappeared before the usual advent of the 

 visiting entomologist. Thus it has happened that several large 

 and conspicuous forms, which are probably widely distributed 

 and not uncommon, have been overlooked until quite recently. 

 A small collection of these insects received from the Colorado 

 Agricultural College brings out a number of new facts which 

 are given below. The species represented may be separated as 

 follows : — 



Females. 

 Hair of thorax appearing grey, from a mixture of 



black and white ...... 1. 



Hair of thorax not so ; more or less yellowish or 



red 2. 



1. Size larger ; length about 16 mm., very robust 



Anthophora porterce, Ckll. 

 Smaller ; length about 13 mm. . . . Anthophora eiiops, Ckll. 



2. A patch of black hair in middle of thorax ; outer 



side of hind tibiae with orange hair 



Emphoropsis mucicla var. johnsoni, n.v. 

 No patch of black hair in middle of thorax . 8. 



3. First three abdominal segments covered with 



hair, which is usually red ; hair on outer 

 side of hind tibiae black 



Anthophora bomboides subsp. neomexicana, Ckll. 

 Only the first abdominal segment covered with 

 hair, which is not very red ; hair on outer 

 side of hind tibise yellowish-white 



Anthophora montana, Cresson.
