infuscated towards the apex ; the hinder femora trian- 

 gularly dilated above, below straight, except for a slight, 

 blunt, somewhat triangular projection near the base ; the 

 apex of the hinder tibiae ends in a stout triangle, which 

 behind is prolonged into a stout, roundly curved process, 

 rounded at the end and piceous at the base of the apical 

 tooth ; sparsely covered with long, pale fulvous hair ; the 

 outer orbits bearing long, white hairs, which are longer 

 and more numerous on the lower part. The scape and 

 second joint of the antennae entirely black ; the flagellum 

 fulvo-brownish, blackish above ; the scape with a few 

 fuscous hairs ; the flagellum bare. The pro- and part of 

 meso-notum densely covered with long, fulvous hair ; the 

 rest of the mesonotum with shorter hair ; in the middle of 

 the mesonotum are two narrow furrows ; near the sides, 

 opposite the tegulae, is a slightly wider and deeper furrow; 

 the scutellum is sparsely covered with very long, pale 

 hair ; the post-scutellum covered with white, woolly 

 pubescence, and bearing also some long, white hairs ; the 

 mesonotum is closely, but not very strongly, punctured ; 

 the scutellum impunctate. The median segment is 

 rounded at the base, semiperpendicular at the apex ; 

 punctured, but not strongly ; the sides and apex covered 

 with long, soft, white hair; the basal area strongly obliquely 

 distinctly margined on either side, the hinder trochanters

Long. 7 mm. $. 



Hub. Poona ( Wroughton). 



The undernoted species comes into Bingham's Section 

 B. of Nomia, having the abdominal segments fringed with 

 hair ; but it differs from all the species in the prothorax 

 having in front of the tegulae a curved, thin, horn-like,
