242 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



A species rather suggestive of the American C. myroni, Ckll., 

 but that is smaller, and has the malar space much shorter, and 

 the face with black hair. The colour-effect is very like that of 

 the South American Biglossa thoracica, Friese. I do not know 

 any closely allied species among the Old World Collctes.

While on this genus I take the opportunity to propose a new 

 subgenus Rkiiiocolletes for Colletes nasutm, Smith. This species 

 is not only remarkable for the long face, but the lobes of the 

 tongue are excessively long and narrow, suggesting some Eumenid 

 wasp. 



Anthidiiim philorum, sp. nov. 



J . Length 10 mm. ; black, with rather dull white haiv, that on 

 abdomen yellowish except first segment and sides of the following 

 two ; ventral scopa orange ; head and thorax very densely punctured, 

 their tegument all black except a small pyriform pale yellow spot 

 above each eye, and sometimes two short marks on scutellum ; man- 

 dibles with a long apical tooth and four very distinct inner ones ; 

 antenusB black ; eyes green ; tegulae black ; wings dusky but trans- 

 lucent, b. n. going basad of t. m. ; legs without light markings, but the 

 tarsi brownish to dark ferruginous, with orange hair on the inner 

 side ; no trace of pulvilli ; abdomen with six entire cream-coloured 

 bands, the first two having a black spot on each side, the others with 

 an anterior notch, or the first band divided into four transverse spots, 

 and the second notched like the third, while the second to fourth are 

 much constricted in the middle ; apical segment with a triangular 

 tooth on each side. 



An ordinary looking little species of Anthidium, s. str., re- 

 sembling the American A. cmarginatum. It is quite distinct 

 from all the recorded Indian species, and also from the Palte- 

 arctic forms. In Friese's table it runs to 20 {ohscuratum and 

 septeinspinosiiin), and runs out because of the orange scopa.
