Cockerell: Malayan Bees 
623 
nervure going basad of transverse median; three subiriarginal 
cells, second receiving first recurrent nervure a little before its 
middle; legs mainly black, knees red, anterior and middle fem- 
ora and tibiae red in front (middle femora obscurely), anterior 
tarsi red; hind tibiae red at apex; abdomen petiolate, narrowed 
basally, mainly black; first segment reddened on hind margins 
except in middle ; second with a pair of very large subquadrate red 
patches, widely separated (not closely approaching as in N. 
adusta ) ; fourth segment with a red band, interrupted mesally 
and laterally; apex light reddish. 
Penang (Baker). Very like the Indian N. adusta Smith, 
which I have from the Khasia Hills (Sladen) , but easily known 
by the denticulate antennse. 
Allodape sauteriella Cockerell, variety a. 
Female. — Length, about 5 millimeters, distinctly smaller and 
less robust than typical A. sauteriella, from Formosa, but with 
no other tangible differences. Scape black ; basitarsi dark ; mes- 
othorax shining ; scutellum dull. The face mark has been turned 
bright red by cyanide ; it may have been yellower than sauteriella. 
Penang (Baker 9976). This may be separable when the 
male is known. 
Allodape breviceps sp. nov. 
Female. — Length, about 5.5 millimeters; similar to A. saio- 
teriella var. a, but readily distinguishable as follows : Head con- 
siderably shorter, the eyes therefore shorter and appearing more 
bulging; face mark broader, its diameter where constricted in 
middle greater than a side above the constriction ; scape cream- 
color in front; tarsi entirely cream-color; first recurrent ner- 
vure joining second submarginal cell much more distant from 
base ; basal half of abdomen obscure brown. The constriction of 
the very broad face mark is about the middle, not conspicuously 
below it as in A. hewittii sandacanensis Ckll. 
Penang (Baker). 
Genus CERATINA Latreille 
The following key separates a series of specimens before me: 
Scutellum entirely black (Penang Island, Baker) dentipes Friese. 
Scutellum at least mainly yellow 1. 
1. Postscutellum at least mainly yellow 2. 
Postscutellum entirely black 3. 
2. Face below antennae nearly all yellow; small (Penang).... metaria sp. nov. 
Face below antennae with two large leg-shaped black marks (Penang).
