A. bicolor, on account of its hairiness, is placed 

 amongst the Bomhinatrices by Schrank, Villars, 

 and GeofFroy ; but its inflected lip, and the hairy 

 ' brush which covers the underside of its abdomen, 

 prove that it belongs to the present family. Pan- 

 zer's figure is not quite so accurate as his usually 

 are, for the base of the dorsal segments of the 

 abdomen, of this insect, is covered with ferrugi- 

 nous hair as well as the margin, although that 

 which fringes the margin is the thickest.
