 u4. Tunstallana possesses many characters in 

 common with A. hortorum. The female, however, 

 is larger, the hair of its scutellumj and of the an- 

 terior part of its thorax, is tawny, and not yellow, 

 and that which covers the first abdominal segment 

 is black ; its wings are darker, and its abdomen in- 

 clines more to an oblong form. Variety s, and 

 which is in fact merely I long disclosed, agrees 

 with the description of A. veterana of Fabricius.
