The horn upon the lip of this species is nearly- 

 obsolete, and not easy to be discovered. The 

 insect itself is smaller than A. cornigera ; its squa- 

 mulae are ferruginous, and it wants the yellow 

 spots which are inclosed in the red fascia of the 

 first dorsal segment of the abdomen of that Apis, 

 Its venter likewise has no yellow fascise.
