A NEW BEE OF THE GENUS TIABROPODA FROM 



ASSAM. 

 By T. D. a. Cockehell. 



When collecting in Assam in September 1903, Mr. Rowland 

 E. Turner obtained a very fine species of the genus Hahroyoda, 

 which was recognized by the late Colonel Bingham as unde- 

 scribed. The type, herewith described, will be placed in the 

 collection of the British Museum. 



Hahropoda tunieri, n. sp. 



? . Length about 17 mm., anterior wing 11 ; robust, but with 

 the abdomen much longer in proportion to its breadth than in 

 H. zonatula, Sm. ; black, with the pubescence of the head, and 

 thorax above as far back as the level of the hind wings, black ; 

 posterior to this, beginning abruptly, the pubescence is sulphur- 

 yellow, and the same, very dense, covers the first two segments of 

 the abdomen ; the third segment has the hair short, dense and coal- 

 black ; the fourth and fifth have it reddish, more or less black at 

 sides ; there is a little pale tomentum at sides of face, and the lower 

 part of the cheeks is covered with long white hair ; a peculiar feature 

 is a small patch of appressed white hair just above (a little mesad of) 

 each antenna, surrounded on all sides by erect long black hair ; the 

 pleura is covered with long white hair ; hair of legs mainly black, 

 but some long white hair on anterior femora beneath ; brush at end 

 of hind basitarsus orange-fulvous. Clypeus prominently densely 

 punctured, but the punctures irregular and largely in grooves ; 

 antennse black, third joint a little longer than 4 -f 5 ; tegulae black ; 

 wings fuliginous, third s. m. broader than second ; marginal cell 

 long ; hind tibiae broad and flat, not produced at end, the scopa coarse 

 and dense. 



Hah. Shillong, Assam. 



A very distinct species, not closely resembling any of the 

 four {H. montana, Rad., H. magrettii, Biugh., H. moelleri, 

 Bingh., H. fulvipes, Cam.) known from India. There is a 

 certain general resemblance to H. tarsata, but that has the hair 

 of the thorax entirely orange-fulvous above.
