apical transverse yellowish testaceous bands; labrum with a 

 small basal yellow spot ; mandibles with a large light basal spot ; 

 scape testaceous beneath; flagellum ferruginous beneath, black 

 above; wings dusky, darker apically, with purple tints; first 

 transverse-cubital nervure rather weak below, but complete; 

 hind tibiae with a band of bright copper-colored hair; hair of 

 hind tarsi reddened. 



Mindanao, Davao (from Baker). Mesotrichia volatilis 

 {Xylocopa volatilis Smith) was based on a male collected by 

 Wallace at Menado, Celebes. Smith's description agrees well 

 enough with the insect now described to suggest identity, but he 

 fails to give measurements. Maidl records a specimen from 

 Samanga, southern Celebes, and informs us that it is about 30 

 millimeters long, the anterior wings 24 millimeters, while the 

 first transverse-cubital nervure is obsolete basally. This is mani- 

 festly not our species, and since Maidl's insect, coming from 

 Celebes (though indeed from a very different part of the island) 

 is presumably correctly named, a new name is given to the 

 Philippine form. Mesotrichia euchlora (Perez) was also col- 

 lected at Davao. 



Allodape picitarsis Cameron. 



A male from Baguio is evidently distinct from A. marginata, 

 having the wings brownish, the middle and hind tarsi red, the 

 anterior tarsi pale reddish with the base black. This may be 

 separable from true picitarsis, of the Laccadive Islands, but 

 more material is needed. 



Allodape mindanaonis Cockerell. 



A new locality is Davao, Mindanao (from Baker). 



Ceratina philippinensis Ashmead. 



Additional localities: Mindanao, Davao. Palawan, Puerto 

 Princesa. Both from Baker. 



Ceratina tropica Crawford. 



Additional localities : Luzon, Laguna, Mount Maquiling. Min- 

 danao, Davao. Both from Baker. 



Ceratina flavolateralis Cockerell. 



Male from Mount Maquiling; both sexes from Davao, Min- 

 danao {Baker 7Jf28, 7Jf29). The female, not before known, is 

 marked like the male. In the table this species runs in at the 

 end, i ". Pleura all yellow.
