 This insect is somewhat similar to the aculeate 

 of A, longicornis, but it is much larger, and its 

 abdomen is nearly covered with minute scales. 

 Part of the thorax of the specimen in Sir J. Banks's 

 cabinet, has evidently had the hair rubbed off; this 

 defect is attempted to be remedied in the figure I 

 have given of it. 1 have never seen this insect in 

 any other cabinet; its male, I have very little 

 doubt, is one of the Eucercuj or long horned bees.
