206 Rev. Mr. Kirsy’s Account of the Ammophila, 
_ Itook two fpecimens of this infe& upon the funny bank of a fand- 
pit in Martlefham Heath near Woodbridge, in the beginning of laft 
September, which was the only time I ever met with it. It is fuf- 
ficiently diftinguifhed from theA. vulgaris, by the uniarticulate ftalk 
of its abdomen, the black v//ii that are fcattercd over its head and 
trunk, the five impreffed lines that are vifible upon the -ditk of its 
thorax, and’by its wings, which are proportionably longer, and of a 
different hue: the maxillz alfo are fhorter, and have an obfcure 
reddifh brown fa/e/a acrofs their middle; and the whole infec is 
thicker in proportion. I do not find this fpecies defcribed in any 
author that I have an opportunity of confulting.
