  Specimens 
  from 
  Mogador 
  differ 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  

   the 
  legs 
  red, 
  instead 
  of 
  only 
  the 
  tibiae 
  and 
  tarsi, 
  and 
  the 
  

   absence 
  of 
  white 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  scape 
  and 
  posterior 
  margin 
  of 
  

   the 
  head. 
  They 
  may 
  possibly 
  represent 
  a 
  distinct 
  species, 
  

   but 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  specimens 
  of 
  dakarensis, 
  and 
  the 
  differ- 
  

   ences 
  do 
  not 
  seem 
  sufficient 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  specific 
  importance.
