In limner's table this runs at once to A. inipuncta, 

 Kirby, but ditfers in tlie colour of the thoracic hair, which 

 is not rufescent. It is also allied to A. irasJiinytoni, 

 Ckll., but is larger, and differs in the abundant pale 

 hair of head, shape of process of labrum, &c. It agrees in 

 size -with A. advariuus, A'iereck, a species which has only 

 been indicated in a table (Canad. Ent. 19(U, p. 192), but 

 the few characters given indicate a different species. It might 

 also be compared with A. ItcmUcuca, A'icr., but that is said to 

 have the scopa ])ale, and is only 10 mm. long.
