ANTHOPHORA ODONTURA, Sp. nov. 
g. Length about 14 mm., covered with red hair, and looking 
exactly like A. vestita or A. capensis. It differs from both by the 
tridentate apex of abdomen, the middle tooth shorter and more obtuse 
than the others. From male vestita it is at once known by the total 
lack of the black brush near the apex of middle tarsi, and by the 
clypeus having two large quadrate black patches above, which the 
supraclypeal mark is angulate above. From capensis it differs by 
having the vertical yellow band on clypeus almost or quite parallel- 
sided, and the hair on inner side of hind basitarsi black instead of 
chocolate. ‘The eyes seem paler and yellower, and probably differ 
distinctly in life. I was, however, very doubtful whether to separate 
the insect from capensis until I noticed the tridentate apex of abdomen. 
Type from Umbilo, 18th February, 1917 (L. Bevis). Two others, 
also collected by Mr. Bevis at Umbilo in 1917, on February 10th and 
14th. One has the pale bands at apices of abdominal segments 
unusually distinct. 
ANTHOPHORA CAPENSIS, Friese. 
The male, not before described, differs from the female by the very 
broad vertical and apical yellow bands on clypeus; space between 
eyes and clypeus, except at top, yellow; and scape with a yellow 
stripe. The legs are without teeth or special ornaments. The eyes 
are reddish. 
Males from Eshowe, December, 1916 (H. W. Bell Marley), Malvern, 
January, 1916 (C. N. Barker) and Umbilo (L. Bevis). Females from 
Eshowe, December, 1916 (H. W. Bell Marley) and Karkloof, January, 
1919 (E. E. Platt).

each side of clypeus ; scape white in front ; legs simple, hind basitarsi 
broad. Flagellum obscurely reddened beneath ; third antennal joint
