this group, which Ashmead treats as a genus. The mouth- 
parts agree with Anthophora, and we think Amegilla at best 
of subgeneric rank. 
so Mevirurcopsis, Ashm. 
Ashmead cites no type, but has kindly sent us the type 
species, an undescribed form from San Francisco Co., Calif, 
collected in October. — [t is superficially just like Anthophora 
Portere, Ckll., but differs in venation and other particulars, 
and is certainly not congeneric. In Cresson’s tables it runs 
to Habropoda, but Cresson’s “ Habropoda” is Emphoropsis. 
The second submarginal cell along the cubitus is shorter than 
the first or third, whereas in LZ. salviarum and floridanus it is 
about equal to the third. The male Meltturgopsis has the 
seape all black, clypeus white except sides and anterior edge, 
lateral face-marks V-shaped; hair of thorax greyish white 
mixed with black; abdomen without bands, first segment 
densely covered with greyish-white hair. 
Meliturgopsis seems practically identical with Hmphoropsts, 
the latter having priority of place.

This genus is omitted by Ashmead. It differs from other 
genera of Anthophorine by its 3-jointed maxillary palpi ; 
the tongue is as long as the body ; antennae filiform, as long 
as the thorax.
