unlike those we get in England. The hairs of the vertex of the head, of the disc of 

 the thorax, and of the 3rd and following dorsal segments of the abdomen are black, 

 whereas the hairB of the face and of the under parts of the thorax and of the base 

 of the abdomen are white, or nearly so, giving the insect much the aspect of 

 M. analis, Nyl., a species which has not yet been recorded from Britain, and which 

 at first I hoped they would prove to be, but they lack the gibbous scutellum and 

 white hairs on the 6th dorsal segment so characteristic of that species. The males 

 only differ from English specimens in the whiter hairs of the under-side.
