2oo Rev. Mr. Kirby'j Account of the Ammophila y 



I took two fpecimens of this infect upon the funny bank of a fand- 

 pit in Martlefham Heath near Woodbridge, in the beginning of lad 

 September, which was the only time I ever met with it. It is fuf- 

 ficiently diftinguifhed from the A. vulgaris, by the uniarticulate ftalk 

 of its abdomen, the black villi that are Scattered over its head and 

 trunk, the five impreffed lines that are vifible upon the diik of its 

 thorax, and by its wings, which are proportionably longer, and of a 

 different hue : the maxillae alfo are fhorter, and have an obfcure 

 reddifh brown fafcia acrofs their middie ; and the whole infect is 

 thicker in proportion. I do not find this fpecies defcribed in any 

 author that I have an opportunity of confulting.
