Appendix 



The next four segments have on their hinder 

 edge a yellow band cut deeply into the form 

 of a triangle, or even broken right off; and 

 this is more noticeable in the less distant seg- 

 ments. 



Under-part of the body, black. Legs, 

 iron-yellow all through. Wings, slightly 

 bronzed at the tip. 



The above is a description of the female. 

 The male is unknown to me. 



In colouring, this species approaches Cer- 

 ceris labiata, from which it differs more par- 

 ticularly by the shape of the shield and by its 

 size, which is much larger. Observed near 

 Avignon in July. 



I dedicate this species to my daughter An- 

 tonia, whose assistance has often been of 

 great value to me in my entomological re- 

 searches.
