blackish hairs; compared with the original description of A. (P.) 

 pediculihirta Viereck this species differs as follows: head with its 

 facial line : transfacial line :: 60 : 67, axial line : temporal line :: 

 27 : 15, covered with blackish hairs except in the foveae, the latter 

 with seal-brown appressed hairs and long blackish hairs, fovea at 

 most hardly one-half as wide as the ocellocular line is long, extending 

 only a little below the antennal line, separated from the eye margin 

 by a nearly bare band that is nearly one-sixth as wide as the greatest 

 foveal width, front not elevated along the inner edge of the fovea, 

 joint 3 and succeeding joints of antennae lost but probably the 

 antennae are as in the species with which this is compared, clypearea 

 wanting, clypeus finely reticulated, sparsely, indistinctly punc- 

 tured, more sparsely and more indistinctly punctured than the 

 face, blackish except basal half which is greenish and coppery, 

 labrarea subemarginate, at most nearly three times as wide at 

 base as long, the emargination extending nearly one-fourth the dis- 

 tance from apex to base, labrarea about half as wide at apex as at 

 base, malar line short, its proportion probably the same as in the 

 species with which this is compared, mandibles extending to the 

 outer edge of the labrum, black, apical half partly blackish castaneous; 

 thorax covered with blackish hairs except on the dorsulum where the 

 hairs are mostly ochreous interspersed with black hairs and on the 

 scutel and the metanotum where the hairs are all ochreous, dorsulum 

 dullish, finely reticulated, somewhat more closely punctured than in 

 the species with which this is compared, notauli represented by 

 almost elevated lines, scutel sculptured much like the dorsulum, 

 metanotum indefinitely sculptured, wing base blackish brown, stigma 

 throughout and all veins except subcosta and membrane dull 

 brownish stramineous, nervulus interstitial, forming an acute angle 

 with the second abscissa of the median vein, legs blackish brown, 

 covered with blackish hairs except on the inner surface of the 

 hind metatarsi where it is pale seal-brown, scopa with blackish, 

 feathery hairs throughout; propodeum with its enclosure separable 

 from the surrounding area only by reason of being impunctate, 

 without a median, longitudinal raised line, rest of upper aspect of 

 propodeum greenish blue, sparsely punctured and reticulated, the 

 reticulation nearly the same as in the enclosure, most hairs of upper 

 aspect of propodeum ochreous, rest of propodeum with blackish 

 hairs, propodeal pleurae greenish blue; abdomen with its tergum 

 bluish, not fasciate but covered throughout with blackish hairs ex- 

 cept on the first and second segments where there are some ochreous
