and the apex of the mandibles, ferruginous ; the face with a little fine 

 short cinereous pubescence above the insertion of the antennae ; the 

 vertex with long black pubescence ; the eyes covered with short black 

 pubescence. Thorax : the sides with ochraceous pubescence ; wings 

 smoky, the superior pair darkest at their anterior margin beyond the 

 stigma. Abdomen : a snow-white band at the basal margin of the 

 second, third, and fourth segments, the bands continued beneath, but 

 narrower. 



Hab. Celebes, Philippine Islands. 



Specimens of this species denuded of their white bands would approach 

 the A. unicolor of Latreille ; but that insect is described as having the 

 anterior wings black ; in the present species both pairs are of the same 

 smoky colour, not approaching black.
