Male. Same as female, except somewhat darker on T-I and II 
with more punctures. 
Holotype female — MEXICO: Sinaloa, 20 mi. e. Concordia, 3000 
ft., 12 August 1964, W. R. M. Mason (OTTAWA). Paratypes: 3 
males and 3 females; Sinaloa: 5 mi w. El Palmito, 5000 ft., July 
1964, W. R. M. Mason and L. Kelton (2 males, 3 females); Vera- 
cruz: Catemaco, 1100 ft., 16-18 June 1969 (1 male). 
Discussion. Of the species with pale legs bicolor most closely 
resembles striata , based on the sculpture of the mesopleuron and 
propodeal enclosures. A. bicolor can be distinguished by the bicol- 
ored hindfemur, the entirely dark scape and bluer thoracic color.

Yerba Buena, 24 June 1969 (OTTAWA). Paratypes: 2 males and 7 
females; same data as type (2 males, 5 females); Yerba Buena, 5800

even in the females. A. chiapana most closely resembles evansi 
based on the finely sculptured propodeal enclosures, densely punc- 
tate mesopleuron and obsolescent notauli. It can be distinguished
