I take this insect to be a variety of Panzer's A, 

 vulpina. In Mr. Haworth's specimen, the only 

 one that I have seen, the black spots on the ante- 

 rior part of the face are larger than in the figure 

 given by that author, and the abdominal fascias 

 have a very slight tinge of red : the very large 

 intermediate thighs are the most striking charac- 

 teristic; I have, therefore, introduced them into 

 my definition.
