This appears to be a species of wide distribution, but of 

 very constant colouring. It has the general facies of 

 A. coitcinna, Klug ( = vestifa, Sm ), and A. capensis, Fr., 

 but may be separated at once from these two species in 

 having the intermediate and posterior legs with densely 

 black pubescence, relieved only by a white fringe on the 

 l)Osterior tibiae ; it also resembles ^i. a/iicana, Fr., but that 

 species has both pleura and posterior legs with black 

 pubescence.
