A. Latreillella is not unlike the preceding in- 

 sect, and has the same remarkable scent of roses ; 

 but it is also a male, is smaller, its abdomen is of a 

 different form, and is distinguished by two narrow 

 black bands, \A'hich are scarcely separated by a {qw 

 pale yellow hairs; these circumstances furnish a 

 sufficient warrant for my considering it as distinct. 

 A. maura of Christius comes very near to this^ if 

 it be not altogether the same.
