 This insect may possibly be only a variety o£ 

 ^. Tunstallana, which it greatly resembles; but on 

 is a specimen recently disclosed, therefore the hir^ 

 suties cannot have changed its colour from age; 

 and as that is almost the only mark in this family, 

 short of the inspection of the nest, by which we 

 have to steer our course, I have, with Fabricius, 

 given it as distinct.
