 and A r . pulchriventris of North America, purple species with 

 a more or less yellow abdomen, margined with purple, the legs 

 with the dark color more abundant from caudad to cephalad,

 denticulate. Ring joints subequal. Pedicel a third longer than wide 

 at apex, shorter than any following joint by far; funicle i longest of 

 the rlagellum, two and one-quarter times longer than wide, slightly lon-
