of face coarsely rugoso-punctate, dullish; facial quadrangle broader 

 than long; cheeks ordinary, not as broad as eyes; vertex dull, with 

 irregular coarse sculpture; antennae stout, black, the flagellum 

 beneath faintly brownish, third antennal joint about as long as fourth 

 but not so long as fifth, apical joint with a smooth shining apical 

 area on inner side. Meso thorax and scutellum dullish, very coarsely 

 and closely punctured; rnetathorax very coarsely granular, the 

 rather small triangular area with very coarse rugae, the median one 

 reaching its posterior end. Tegulae shining reddish piceous. Wings 

 hyaline, faintly brownish, more distinctly so apically; nervures and 

 the large stigma ferruginous, second submarginal receiving first 

 recurrent nervure in middle. 



Abdomen shining, but quite closely punctured except the hind 

 margins and extreme bases of segments; second segment in middle 

 depressed about one-half. No hair bands, but all segments with 

 abundant erect hair, not dense enough to conceal surface. 



In the table it is separated from A. weedi and A. radiatvla by the 

 long, dense, nearly erect hair of abdomen. 



Type. — Entomological collection of the University of Nebraska. 



c 4 . Smaller species, not at all like A. carlini in aspect. 

 a 5 . Abdomen largely ferruginous. 



a 6 . Female; mesothorax moderately shiny; second abdominal segment in middle 

 depressed much more than half ; second submarginal not narrow. 



ANDRENA SUBMARIAE, new species. 



Hamilton County, Kansas. 3,350 feet. (F. H. Snow, 328.) 

 Female. — Length, 8 mm. Head and thorax black. Legs dark 

 reddish, the hind tibiae and tarsi clear ferruginous. Abdomen bright 

 chestnut red, the hind margins of the segments golden. Beneath, 

 the segments are largely blackened ; above are some irregular blackish 

 stains which evidently did not exist in life. Facial quadrangle 

 broader than long; process of labrum truncate; clypeus shining, 

 strongly and closely punctured. Facial foveae seen from above 

 creamy white, occupying more than two-thirds of distance between 

 antenna and eye, below they end a little below level of antennae, 

 and are not widely separated from eye; flagellum with a light red 

 band beneath quite abruptly contrasting with the dark color of the rest 

 of the flagellum; third antennal joint about as long as 4 and 5 together. 

 Front both striate and punctured. Mesothorax and scutellum with 

 large, strong, not dense punctures. Mesothorax dull, scutellum more 

 shining. Area of rnetathorax with rather fine longitudinal ridges 

 which send out lateral branches. Tegulae rather light reddish. 

 Wings reddish hyaline, stigma and nervures clear ferruginous, basal 

 nervure meeting transverse median, second submarginal receiving 

 first recurrent nervure well beyond middle. Scopa of hind tibiae
