  Hab. 
  Mussouri 
  {Rothney). 
  

  

  Agrees 
  with 
  A. 
  Rothneyi 
  generally 
  in 
  coloration; 
  but 
  

   the 
  basal 
  abdominal 
  segment 
  is 
  only 
  ferruginous 
  at 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  while 
  the 
  third 
  is 
  entirely 
  ferruginous 
  ; 
  the 
  hairs 
  on 
  

   the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  much 
  thicker 
  and 
  longer 
  and 
  uni- 
  

   formly 
  distributed

  more 
  strongly 
  

   punctured,

  also 
  being 
  obliquely 
  striolated 
  

   behind. 
  Judging
