more than half way upwards; its tubercula are 

 black, and the exterior margin of the squamiilae is 

 of a pale colour ; the dots upon its scutellum are 

 minute and distant ; its tibiae and tarsi are yellow; 

 the first pair of yellow spots upon the abdomen are 

 smaller than the other two, and the last ventral seg- 

 ments are more hairy than is usual in the present 

 family. Panzer's Nomada sexfasciata may, per- 

 haps, be a variety of it ; but, as I have doubts on 

 that head, I have given it another trivial name.
