190 Natal Bees 
M. gabonensis (Vachal) is a somewhat similar insect, nearest to 
M. chubbi by the colour of the wings and the venation. It has the 
anterior legs and the base of the venter more or less dilute reddish. 
Unfortunately, Vachal’s unique type was without a head. 
The species of Morgania at present known, all African, are as 
follows : 
M. dichroa (Spinola). M. graenicherr jenseni, Friese. 
syn. carnifex, Gerstaecker. M. appletoni, Cockerell. . 
M. gerstaeckeri (Schulz). M. capicola (Strand). 
syn. dichroa, Smith. M. nigrithorax, Strand. 
M. gabonensis (Vachal). M. nigripes (Friese). 
M. histrio (Gerstaecker). M. capensis (Friese). 
M. villosa (Friese). M. abessinica (Friese). 
M. graenicheri (Brauns). M. rufipes (Friese). 
M. graenicheri is a comparatively large species, 12 mm. long. All 
these insects are parasitic, but so far as I know, their biology has not 
been elucidated. 
ANTHOPHORA BIPARTITA, Smith. 
Females collected by A. L. Bevis, 6th and 20th June, 1916, at 
Durban. 
The pale stripe on the clypeus may be reduced to a spot just above 
the margin. There is a little white or pale hair on each side near the 
end of the abdomen. ‘The species was described from Natal. 
CoutueteEs, Latr. 
Nine specimens of South African Colletes before me belong to five 
different species, none of which agree with any published descriptions. 
One species was sent to me by Dr. H. Brauns as C. martini, Vachal, 
but I cannot discover that Vachal published it, and it is not mentioned 
in Friese’s great work on African bees. 
The species may be separated thus : 
Hair of mesothorax white or whitish, contrasting with the orange- 
fulvous of scutellum . . . . martinc. 
Hair of mesothorax ( 2 ) pale ochraceous mixed with fuscous, that 
of the scutellum similar; first abdominal segment strongly 
punctured . . . . fusconotus. 
Hair of mesothorax and scutellum (@ ) ferruginous mixed with 
fuscous ; first abdominal segment polished and feebly punctured
