slightly more; width of head 5.5 mm.; anterior wing about 11 mm.; black, 

 the hand margins of the abdominal segments broadly but suffusedly coppery- 

 reddish ; labrum, base of mandibles and a reversed T on clypeus dull honey- 

 yellow ; the last has a narrow stem, rather tapering upwards, while the trans- 

 verse band is very broad and long, the arms being longer than the stem of 

 the T ; flagellum ferruginous beneath ; legs obscurely reddish ; pubescence short, 

 in the manner of A. scymna and A. wruginosa, but uniformly mouse-grey, on 

 the vertex and dorsum of thorax rather yellower, and abundantly mixed with 

 black ; the abdomen also has many black hairs, which do not obscure the 

 gray color ; hair on inner side of hind tibia and basitarsus black, also more 

 or less on inner side of middle legs, but on inner side of anterior tibia the 

 hair is light golden. 



Related to A. scymna Gribodo, but larger, and quite differently 

 colored. The tegulse are dark chestnut; in scymna they are clear 

 testaceous. The wings are dusky in both species.

 than in A. zonata, and has rather narrower bands.
