206 Mr. F. Smitliti descrijjtio/is of Aculeate Ili/inenoptera. 
2. BoDihus terminalis. ^ 
Worker. Length 9 lines. Black : the head elongate 
and with black pubescence ; that on the legs, on the body 
beneath, on the sides of the third segment of the abdomen 
above, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth also, black ; the cly- 
peus very shining and sparingly punctured ; the apical 
joints of the tarsi ferruginous, the claws black. 
Hub. — Hiogo. 
Taken at an elevation of 4,000 feet ; six specimens. I 
have supposed them to be workers ; they may, however, 
prove to be females. 
^ 3. Bombus i(jnitus. 
Female. Length 10 lines. Black, and clothed with 
black pubescence, except the three apical segments of the 
abdomen, Avhich are covered with red hairs; the wings 
I'usco-hyaline, darkest beyond the submarginal cells; the 
tarsi rufo-piceous, except the basal joint, and clothed 
beneath with ferruginous hair. 
Hab. — Hakodadi. 
Of this species 1 have only received one sex, the female ; 
it is larger, but very like the B. lapidarius of Europe, 
l)ut it most closely resembles B. similis of N. China ; the 
latter species is still hirgcr, and has dark-fuscous wings ; 
])rol)ably tlie males of each, if compared, Avould offer good 
differential specific characters. 
Genus Apis, Linn, ^ 
\, Apis nigro-cincta, Smith, Proc. Linn. Soc. v. 93, 2. 
Tlvc queen of tliis species, Avhich I have received from 
;Mr. Lewis, is smaller than that of A. vicllijica, being about 
two-thirds of its size ; it is so like that species that a 
comparison of the two is necessary in order to detect 
any difference, but the posterior legs are proportionately 
broader, and the tarsal joints also differ slightly in form. 
It has none of the bright-red colouring of the worker. 
Mr. LcAvis found it dead near to a hive of " nigro-cincta,^'' 
and lie informs me that he has not observed the Apis 
mcllijica in Japan.
