The substance of Ochsenheimer's general remarks are: — [Vol, 

 ii., p. 64-6.] 



The antennae are thin, gradually becoming thicker, with an 

 indistinct brownish apex; head, thorax and abdomen black- blue, 

 the last without a red girdle ; the feet turn brownish only when the 

 imago becomes somewhat worn ; the forewings are shorter than in 

 A. filipendidie and more rounded ; the ground colour is black-blue, 

 metallic shining, very seldom with a greenish shimmer ; the fringes 

 are brownish at the tips ; the six spots deep, sometimes red-lead 

 colour; the basal pair of spots is elongated, truncated in front; th& 

 two other pairs are of nearly equal size ; and the outer pair has an 

 oblique position to the middle pair ; between the lower basal — and 

 middle — spots are sometimes found two dots of the colour of the 

 spots, often only one is seen ; on the underside the spots are all so 

 run together into one spot, dift'ering in this character from all the 

 other Anthrocera species ; this disc is, in wholly typical examples.
