from the present species by its yellow tibire and tarsi. I may 

 mention that the locality given for A. desidiosum, described 

 by Lieut.-Col. Bingham from a specimen obtained by me,

 in 1901 from between 6000 and 8000 feet in Kashmir.

 constricted, fourth and fifth segments with minute median 

 longitudinal carinas at their bases, apical segment with a 

 median groove dividing its apical margin, which is curved
