 As the sexes o^ A. f areata are so unlike each 

 other, that no common character would include 

 them both, I haye, therefore, been under the ne- 

 cessity, as in some former instances, of making a 

 separate one for each. I do not give these indi- 

 viduals as male and female upon my own authority, 

 but Mr. James Trimmer, upon whose accuracy I 

 can rely, has taken both out of the same nest. 

 Upon their mode of nidification I have enlarged 

 before (/>). Panzer's figure and description, which 

 belong to the male, vary a little from our speci- 

 mens, but I think there can be no doubt of his 

 intending the same insect.
