Apem nominavi. 

 This species, at first sight, strongly resembles 

 the male of the preceding; but upon a close in- 

 spection, we find that its intermediate legs, instead 

 of being longer, are shorter than the posterior; 

 their plantae, also, have only a dense beard of black 

 hairs on one side, without any of those very long 

 ones, along the whole of the tarsus on the other, 

 which form a remarkable character of the male sex 

 of that insect. Its maxillae, likewise, have no yel- 

 low spot ; and the anterior part of the nose alone 

 is pale yellow, and not the whole face below the 

 antennae. The specimen from which I drew my 

 description, is in the Museum of Mr. Haworth ; 

 I have since seen it amongst the English insects of 

 Major Gen. Davies at Blackheath. I have by me 

 two or three other exotic males, whose interme- 

 diate legs resemble those of A. retusa and A. Ha- 

 worthana, in being, what Fabricius terms, fascicu- 

 lato-pilosi.
