either that these insects are different species, or are 

 dimorphic forms of one. 

 (4) A. zonata ternatensis, subsp. n., ? . Ternate, a 92-44, 

 6106." Similar to andrewsi, but the strongly metallic 

 bands narrower and bluer green ; band on first seg- 

 ment very narrow, hardly half as broad as in andrewsi ; 

 hair on outer side of hind tibia (also basitarsus) 

 brilliant fulvous, with no black basal streak. Tegulae 

 dull ferruginous. Light mark on scape reduced to 

 an obscure spot. 



A. borneensis is very like the Australian A. darwini, but 

 is larger and more robust, with a strong yellowish tinge in 

 the thoracic pubescence (wanting in darwini), while the 

 clypeal black marks are larger and of the usual zonata type. 

 There can be little doubt that they are quite independent 

 deiivatives of the zonata stock.

The specimen differs from Bingham's description in having 

 black hair on each side of the face, especially near the 

 antennas ; it also has a supraclypeal mark (transverse band), 

 and lateral face-marks represented by a light streak on each 

 side of the clypeus. The hind basitarsus has a broad obtuse 

 tubercle on the anterior side beyond the middle, and the hind 

 spur is curved at end.
