Deep velvety-black : thorax with a narrow band of golden-yellow down in front

 abdominal segments clothed with golden pubescence : legs testaceous, with

 Barnstaple and Bideford ; from the last place I possess a remark- 

 ably small specimen given to me by Captain Blomer. " Taken at 

 Briton-ferry by Mr. Millard, and once near Wych-tree-bridge." —
