 An eadem ? 



This species comes very near to the Hylceus 

 annulatus of Panzer (?2), but I think it is distinct. 

 It is distinguished from all those that I have before 

 described, not only by its white lip, maxillae, and 

 tarsi, but also by a singular fringe of pale hair ob- 

 servable upon the underside of the abdomen, near 

 the anus, a little within the margin.
