3 72 MELITTA. (**. c.) 



Abdomen ovatum, basi villosum et subretusum, 

 segmentis tribus intermediis margine tomen- 

 toso-pallidis. Ani Fimbria medio atra, utrin- 

 que pallida. Venter, anum versus potissimum, 

 cinereo-hirtus. 

 This and the following species vary from the 

 characters of the insects of this genus, and ap- 

 proach to those of genuine j4pes. Their tongue 

 is longer with very minute auricles, and the tops of 

 the valvular are cultrifrom {x). They still, however, 

 retain so much of the character of Melitta, as to 

 be properly placed in that genus, and they will rank 

 very well with the insects that compose the present 

 family, with which they agree in habit. If consi- 

 dered as forming a distinct subdivision, it may be 

 regarded as a connecting link between the genera 

 which partakes of the characters of both.
