specimen In the cabinet, b, although at first sight 

 it appears distinct, upon a close inspection will be 

 found to be merely a variety of «. The former of 

 these has been mistaken by Rossi for A. Hypnoruirii 

 Linn, (which is a veiy different insect (a), and ap- 

 proaches nearer to A. Muscorum and Bechwith- 

 ella), it is extremely well figured by Panzer un- 

 the name o{ A. ccespitum. Of the latter, I have 

 seen only the single specimen, except the Linnean, 

 which 1 have in my own cabinet. The black band 

 of the thorax, in the authentic specimen, is nearly- 

 obsolete.
