APIS. (**. c. 2. a.) 241 



tuslusculus. Venter antice lana fulva, postlce 

 fusca, tectus. 



This insect is distinguished, from those that 

 JDrecede it, by the size of its maxillae, which are 

 unusually largfe and prominent, and scarcely, if at 

 all, forcipate ; the teeth at their tips are most of 

 them rounded, rione being acute, as in the others j 

 the abdomen, also, is of a different shape. Panzer 

 has figured a maxilla as belonging to the other sex 

 of his A. centuncularis{k), which represents v/ell 

 the same part of Jl. maritima. It is certainly not 

 the maxilla of a male, and his figure is that of an 

 aculeate, whence it follows that it belongs to 

 another species. 



44. A. griseo-pubescens ; abdomine femineo suh^ligniseca. 

 ovali ; musculo subgloboso, ano emarginato.
