40 New Records of Natal Bees 
ANTHOPHORA CIRCULATA, Fabricius. 
2. Umbilo, 2nd Oct., 1915 (lL. Bevis; 1706); 10th Oct., 1915 
(L. Bevis; 1708). 3. Umbilo, 10th Oct., 1915 (L. Bevis; 1708), 
The male has large black markings on the clypeus, and is A. fallax, 
Smith. I am now convinced that fallax represents only a variation 
of A. circulata. 
ANTHOPHORA CALIGATA, Gerstaecker. 
@. Umbilo, 2nd, 10th and 17th Oct., 1915 (L. Bevis); 9th June, 
1915 (L. Bevis). Lr. Umkomaas, 18th Dec., 1914 (L. Bevis; 1485). 
TETRALONIA SHEFFIELDI UMBILOENSIS, sub-sp. nov. 
?. Scutellum covered with very dark fuscous hair; abdomen with 
dark hair at extreme base. The hind margins of the abdominal 
segments are so broadly ferruginous, that the tegument of the abdomen 
appears red, evidently black only at bases. Umbilo, 28th April, 1915 
(L. Bevis; 1565). Additional material is necessary to show whether 
this is a distinct sub-species, or only a variety. The insect superficially 
resembles Anthophora vestita, but the venation is different. 
Ca@Lioxys LORICULA, Smith. 
The hitherto unknown female comes from Umbilo, 28th April, 1915 
(L. Bevis; 1565). The end of the abdomen is entirely of the type of 
the European C. quadridentata, except that the lower plate is shorter 
and less deflected downward, and its lateral notches are rectangular. 
In Friese’s table of African species this runs to C. caffra, but the legs 
are not red, and the apical lobe of apical inferior plate of abdomen is 
broader and shorter. Evidently C. caffra is a distinct though closely 
allied species. At first sight one might suppose the female loricula 
to belong with the male C. dolichacantha, which also occurs at Umbilo; 
but it differs from the new species in the shorter, curved, axillar spines, 
the more finely punctured abdomen (much more closely punctured on 
ventral surface), and the first recurrent nervure joining the second 
submarginal cell further from the base (in dolichacantha at or very 
near the base).
