374 APIS. (**. c. 2.) 



It wants, indeed, the " setulac quacdam circa 

 collum sulphureac," but in other respects it agrees 

 well with his description, for it somewhat resem- 

 bles A. lucorum, but it is narrower, and the terms 

 **' toto corpore nigro immaculato" exactly suit it. 

 As another Apis, however, occupies its place in the 

 Linnean cabinet, and the absence of the setulae sul- 

 phureac renders its claim to it somewhat dubious, 

 I have given it under another name. Christius has 

 a tolerable figure of the male as A. retusa. It is 

 a coincidence rather singular, that A. retusa should 

 be mistaken for A. acervorum, and, vice versS, A. 

 acervorum for A. retusa.
