Hub, Ilarima, Japan [Fukui). U.S. National Museum. 

 The male ( = type) taken April 7, 1912, the female April 18, 

 1912. 



This is not very close to any described Japanese species. 

 In Schraiedeknecht's tables (ApidcC Europaaij the male runs 

 nearest to A^. rvjicornis, L., which is much larger, and differs 

 in face-markings and colour of scaj)e. The female runs to 

 A^. thersites, Schm., which is evidently closely allied, differing 

 from harinien.ns by the black markings on the femora, 

 markings of abdomen, &c.
