* A. montivagans, Woll. I have examined the type in the 
British Museum and can see no specific differences from clientula, a 
widely distributed and variable insect. 
A. sharpi, Rye. This insect is probably identical with A. 
clientula, but, as the type is not accessible, it is not possible to be 
certain.
