facial quadrangle much broader than higli ; clypeus, lateral 

 face-marks (reaching to level of antennte, but the upper end 

 receding from eye), mandibles except apex, occipital band 

 interrupted in the middle, anterior lateral corners of meso- 

 tliorax (forming a sort of l), axillae, large mark on each side 

 of scutellum, underside of anterior and middle femora, patch 

 at apex of liind femora, outer side of tibiae and basitarsi, 

 v( TV broad abdominal bauds on segments 1 to 6 (interrupted 

 widely on first segments, successively more narrowly on the 

 others), and seventh segment (except iu middle, and ends of 

 lateral teeth), all bright yelloiv ; lower margin of clypeus 

 dark ; antennae black ; sides of face, and front, with much 

 white hair; cheeks and pleura with much white hair; hair 

 of head and thorax above very pale ochreous-tinted ; scutel- 

 lum rounded, emarginatein middle ; tegulae yellow in front, 

 piceous behind, except the margin. Wings dusky : b. n. 

 going basad of t.-m. ; first r. n. entering extreme basal 

 corner of second s.m., and second r. n. going hardly beyond 

 ifs end ; hind femora with an obtuse subbasal tooth beneath. 

 Sides of abdomen with white hair; fifth segment with a 

 yellow tooth on each side, sixth with longer teeth, which are

In Friese^s table of" pahearctic species this runs to 36, 

 and agrees with A. fiorentinvm in the diverging apical 

 teeth of abdomen, but with A. septemspinosvui in having 

 white hair at sides of abdomen, instead of bundles ofoehreous 

 hair. Compared with A.foreiitinum, it differs conspicuously 

 in the much shorter apical teeth of abdomen. Nurse states 

 that A. florentimini cavcasicum (Kad.) is common iu the 

 aifalfa Holds at Quettn, and 1 naturally expected this insect 

 to be identical with it. 1 have never seen authentic caucusi- 

 aim, but, as described by Fiiese and Dnsniet y Alonso, it is a 

 colour-variety oi' JJon-nli/iKin. uoi difi'ering structurally.

 lUiirk with the upper part broad as usual, the loner narrower, 

 j)arallel-sided, not expanded laterally; front and sides of 

 vertex shining ; flagcllum dark reddish beneath ; teguhe
